Bright, floral, and intensely tropical, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon onto everything — toast, scones, yogurt, or straight from the jar. The ingredient list is refreshingly short: fresh passionfruit pulp, eggs, butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. No tomatoes, peppers, or any of the other nightshade culprits that can quietly sneak into store-bought curds and spreads through added flavorings or colorings. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and coaxes the mixture into a silky, glossy curd that sets beautifully in the fridge. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives it that luxurious, velvety texture you'd expect from a patisserie. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve makes it perfectly smooth, though leaving the seeds in adds a lovely rustic texture if that's your style. It takes a little patience at the stove, but the result is a vibrant, golden curd that tastes like pure sunshine.

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.
