Tangy, silky, and bursting with tropical flavor, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spread on absolutely everything — toast, scones, yogurt, or straight from the spoon. The double-boiler method is the real secret here, gently cooking the eggs and pulp together so the curd turns out impossibly smooth and rich without any risk of scrambling. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives it that glossy, luxurious finish that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. Because every ingredient is naturally free of stimulants, there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — this one is clean and straightforward from start to finish. The optional straining step lets you choose your texture, whether you want a perfectly silken curd or a little seed-flecked character running through it. Once it sets in the fridge, you'll have a vibrant, sunshine-yellow spread that keeps beautifully and tastes like a tropical vacation in a jar.

Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Set a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Add the passionfruit pulp, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and uniform in color, about 1 minute.
