Tangy, silky, and sunshine-bright, this passionfruit curd is one of those fridge staples that makes everything it touches taste more special. The tropical punch of fresh passionfruit pulp is balanced by butter, eggs, and just enough sugar to round out the tartness into something genuinely addictive. Because it's built entirely from whole, single-ingredient pantry basics, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your spread. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and coaxes the mixture into a glossy, spoonable consistency that store-bought versions rarely match. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives the curd that luxurious, velvety body you want on toast, scones, yogurt, or straight off the spoon. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve keeps the texture ultra-smooth, though leaving the seeds in is a perfectly valid choice if you like a little rustic bite. Once it's set in the fridge, you'll have a vibrant, clean-ingredient curd ready to elevate just about anything on your table.

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.
