Makes about 1 1/4 cups of passion fruit curd

INGREDIENTS INSTRUCTIONS
½ cup passion fruit pulp
INDIRECT HEAT METHOD
1. Place the passion fruit pulp and sugar in a heat-proof
glass bowl or the top of a double boiler.
2 tbsp lemon juice
2. Heat a few inches of water in a saucepan or in the
¼ cup sugar
bottom part of a double boiler, and bring the water to a
6 tbsp unsalted butter
boil. Then lower the heat to a simmer.
4 egg yolks
3. Place the bowl of passion fruit pulp and sugar on the
saucepan or the double boiler, and whisk for a few
minutes to warm up the ingredients and dissolve the
sugar.
4. Add the egg yolks and lemon juice into a separate jug or
bowl, and whisk to form a smooth paste.
5. Pour the warm passion fruit and sugar in a thin stream
into the eggs, WHILE whisking constantly to temper the
eggs.
6. Next, pour the egg and passion fruit mix back into the
bowl, and return the bowl to the double boiler.
7. Add the unsalted butter to the warm passion fruit curd.
The butter will melt as the passion fruit curd heats, and
the whisking/stirring will help emulsify the butter into the
passion fruit curd. 
8. Stir well (or whisk) frequently, while cooking the passion

the bottom of the bowl (this will cause the eggs to

overcook). Stir or whisk frequently until the passion fruit
curd thickens. This can take up to 10 - 20 minutes (the
time depends on the bowl and the heat).
9. The most accurate way to ensure that the passion fruit
curd is cooked well is to use a temperature probe and
check the temperature of the curd often, in between
whisking. When the passion fruit curd registers 160° F,
it's ready!

DIRECT HEAT METHOD (BETTER FOR DOUBLE BATCHES)

1. Place the passion fruit pulp and sugar in a small
saucepan. Then place the saucepan over low-medium
heat and heat while stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Add the egg yolks and lemon juice into a separate jug or
bowl, and whisk to form a smooth paste.
3. Pour the warm passion fruit and sugar in a thin stream
into the eggs, WHILE whisking constantly to temper the
eggs.
4. Next pour the egg and passion fruit mix back into the
saucepan, and return the saucepan to the stove.
5. Add the unsalted butter to the warm passion fruit curd.
The butter will melt as the passion fruit curd heats, and
the whisking will help emulsify the butter into the
passion fruit curd.
6. Stir well (or whisk) constantly, while cooking the passion
fruit egg mix. I prefer to use a rubber spatula to
prevent any scratching of the saucepan. Make sure to
scrape the bottom and sides so that the egg doesn’t
cook and stick to the bottom. It's very important to
keep the passion fruit curd constantly moving to
prevent curdling (eggs cooking).
7. Stir or whisk frequently until the passion fruit curd
thickens. This can take up to 10 minutes (the time
depends on the heat of the stove, lower heat gives you
better control over the cooking process, but will take
longer). It can take up to 15 - 20 minutes for double
batches.
8. If you feel that the curd is heating too fast, remove the
saucepan from the heat and mix well to disperse the
heat.

curd is cooked well is to use a temperature probe and

check the temperature of the curd often, while stirring.
When the passion fruit curd registers 160° F, then it's
ready!

COOLING AND STORING PASSION FRUIT CURD

1. Sterilize a 1 x 11 oz glass jar (324 mL) and sealable lid in
boiling water.
2. Remove the sterilized jar from the water and pour the hot
passion fruit curd into the jar.
3. Close the jar with the lid. Store in the fridge overnight, to
completely chill the curd.
4. The passion fruit curd will last in the fridge for about 3
weeks (with unopened sterilized jars), or about 7 days
with unsterilized jars or bowls.
5. OR it will last longer in the freezer (up to 3 months).
Once opened, use within 7 - 10 days for best results.
