Bright, floral, and intensely tropical, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon onto everything — toast, tarts, yogurt, or straight from the jar. It's made entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients: fresh passionfruit pulp, eggs, butter, sugar, and a pinch of sea salt. No preservatives, no synthetic additives, no hidden extras that tend to sneak into store-bought curds and spreads. For anyone navigating paraben concerns, that kind of ingredient transparency is genuinely hard to find on a supermarket shelf, which makes a homemade version like this so worthwhile. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, coaxing the eggs and pulp into a silky, glossy curd without scrambling or curdling. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives it that luxurious, velvety finish that sets beautifully in the fridge. You can strain it smooth or leave the seeds in for a little rustic texture — either way, the result is a vibrant, sunshine-yellow curd with a flavor that's tart, sweet, and completely addictive.

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.
