Tangy, silky, and bursting with tropical flavor, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spread on absolutely everything. The vivid orange color alone is enough to stop you in your tracks, and the flavor — floral, tart, and rich all at once — delivers on every promise. Many store-bought curds and fruit spreads sneak in honey or honey-derived sweeteners, but this one relies entirely on granulated sugar to balance the natural acidity of the passionfruit, so you can enjoy it without second-guessing the label. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and gives you that luxuriously smooth, spoonable texture that sets up beautifully in the fridge. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end adds a glossy richness that takes the whole thing to another level. Strain it for a silky-smooth finish or leave the seeds in for a little extra texture — either way, it's stunning spooned over yogurt, layered into a tart shell, or simply eaten off a spoon straight from the 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.
