HOW TO MAKE PASSIONFRUIT CURD

• Put the passion fruit pulp in a blender to separate the seeds from all the juicy parts.
• Scrape this into a sieve and set it over a medium saucepan as you push through as much pulp as possible.
• Reserve 2 tbsp of the seeds, before discarding the rest.
• Add the rest of the ingredients into the pan and set over a low heat.
• Whisk until all the butter has melted.
• Stir continuously until the passion fruit curd has thickened.
• Keep at the same temperature so the eggs don’t curdle.
• Make sure you stir right around the edge as it catches here first.
• Sieve your curd into a bowl, discarding any egg remains that may have curdled.
• Stir in reserved seeds and cool before spooning into jars and letting them chill.
• Store in the fridge for 7 days.
• This passionfruit curd is ideal spread on crumpets, scones and even your morning toast.
