Tangy, silky, and almost impossibly vibrant, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon onto everything — toast, scones, yogurt, or straight from the jar. The double-hit of whole eggs and extra yolks gives it a luscious, custard-like richness, while the butter whisked in at the end makes it glossy and smooth in a way that feels genuinely luxurious. Because it's built entirely from fresh fruit, eggs, sugar, butter, and salt, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess a single ingredient — everything here is exactly what it says it is. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, so you get a perfectly set curd without any scrambled-egg disasters. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that clean, velvety texture, though leaving the seeds in adds a pleasant rustic bite if that's your style. It takes a little patience at the stove, but the result is a bright, tropical spread that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved.

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.
