Tangy, silky, and impossibly vibrant, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spread on absolutely everything — toast, scones, tart shells, or a spoon straight from the jar. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling, giving you that luxuriously smooth texture that store-bought versions can never quite match. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end is the secret to a glossy, velvety finish that sets up beautifully in the fridge. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just fresh passionfruit pulp, sugar, eggs, butter, and a pinch of salt — so there's no hunting down specialty items or worrying about what else might be lurking in a packaged product. Tree nut concerns are completely off the table here, since every single component is naturally free of them. If you like a little texture, skipping the strainer leaves the passionfruit seeds in for a subtle crunch and a more rustic look. This is one of those recipes that feels far more impressive than the effort it actually takes.

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.
