Bright, tangy, and impossibly silky, this passionfruit curd is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more special. The flavor is floral and tropical with a sharp citrus-like edge that gets beautifully balanced by rich butter and a touch of salt. Made entirely from eggs, sugar, butter, and fresh passionfruit pulp, the ingredient list is naturally free of tree nuts without any substitutions or workarounds required — just clean, simple pantry staples doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and gives you full control over the texture, resulting in a curd that's thick, glossy, and perfectly spreadable. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a smooth, elegant finish, though leaving the seeds in adds a lovely rustic texture if that's your style. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, spoon it over pavlova, or eat it straight from the jar — no judgment here. Once you've made homemade curd, the store-bought version just doesn't compare.

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.
