Bright, tangy, and impossibly silky, this passionfruit curd is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more special. The double hit of whole eggs and extra yolks gives it a rich, custard-like body, while the butter whisked in at the end creates that glossy, spoonable texture you want spread over scones, swirled into yogurt, or layered inside a cake. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, so you get a perfectly smooth curd without any scrambled-egg disasters. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve at the end is the little extra step that takes it from homemade to bakery-quality — though leaving the seeds in is a totally valid call if you love a bit of texture. Every single ingredient here is straightforward pantry and produce-aisle stuff: passionfruit, sugar, eggs, butter, and salt. There's nothing hidden, nothing processed, and no reason to second-guess what's going into the jar. Once it's chilled and set, you'll want to keep a batch in the fridge at all times.

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.
