I was cleaning out the kitchen when I found quite a few passionfruit that were not looking as good as they should have been, so I decided that I would have to use them up pretty quickly. I thought, why not try some passionfruit curd as it can be used in a variety of ways; in a sandwich, in-between layers of a sponge cake, dolloped over muffins and pancakes or poured into a tart shell.
This recipe has only four ingredients and is very quick and easy to make. The result is amazingly yummy! We enjoyed some on our mini pavlovas that I made with the left over egg whites. All up, this recipe makes about 1 cup of passionfruit curd and I poured this into 2 small glass jars. For the first jar, I pushed the curd through a sieve to remove the seeds, the second jar I just poured the curd in, seeds and all.
