Passionfruit Butter is a type of fruit curd, similar to lemon curd or lime curd. It is made by cooking passion fruit pulp with sugar, lemon juice and eggs, and then adding diced butter to create a smooth, creamy texture. The result is a luscious spread that's perfect for breakfast or tea time. Passionfruit Butter is popular in Australia and New Zealand, and it can also be found in some specialty food stores in the US and Europe. This homemade version is simple and easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover passion fruit pulp.

Instructions

1.	In a heatproof bowl, whisk together all ingredients except for the butter.
2.	Set bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water) and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
3.	Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in diced butter a few pieces at a time, making sure each addition is fully incorporated before adding more.
4.	Pour the Passionfruit Butter through a fine-mesh sieve and let it cool to room temperature.
5.	Transfer the mixture to a sterilized glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
