Ingrédients
Main Ingredients
- 4-5 ripe passion fruits
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar or honey

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter Can substitute with coconut oil or vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Can adjust or substitute with lime or orange juice

Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Cut the passion fruits in half, scoop out the pulp, and separate the seeds from the pulp.
Cooking
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the passion fruit pulp, sugar, eggs, unsalted butter, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly to ensure everything mixes evenly.
- Continue to cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Once thickened, remove it from the heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
- Allow the strained curd to cool to room temperature.
Finishing
- Transfer the cooled curd into a clean glass jar, seal it tightly, and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours to thicken further.
- Enjoy it spread on toast, as a filling for cakes, or by the spoonful.
