Bright, tangy, and impossibly silky, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon straight from the jar. The tropical punch of fresh passionfruit pulp is balanced by rich butter and egg yolks, creating a luscious spread that tastes far more complex than its short ingredient list suggests. A double boiler setup and constant whisking are the real secrets here — gentle, steady heat coaxes the eggs and sugar into a glossy, spoonable curd without any risk of scrambling. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve gives you that ultra-smooth finish, though leaving the seeds in adds a lovely rustic texture if that's your style. Tree nut allergies can make store-bought curds and fruit spreads a minefield of shared-facility warnings, but this one is made entirely from eggs, butter, sugar, salt, and fresh fruit — nothing more. Slather it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, layer it in a tart shell, or use it as a filling between cake layers; it's endlessly versatile. Once you've made it from scratch, the jarred stuff simply won'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.
