Passion Fruit Curd
Printable Recipe
4 large egg yolks
3 ounces sugar
2 ounces passion fruit puree
2 ounces (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, diced
Whisk together the yolks and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk in the passion fruit puree. Place the bowl over a medium pan of simmering water and heat, whisking constantly, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until thick. Immediately strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl and stir in the butter. Chill.
Makes about 1 1/3 cups. Keeps for a day or two tightly sealed in the refrigerator. You will need about 4 passion fruits for this recipe. When buying passion fruits, look for fruit that's shrinkled—that's my word for shrunken and wrinkled—and trust me when I say there's no better way to describe a ripe passion fruit. To make passion fruit puree, halve the passion fruits, scoop out the flesh using a spoon, and strain it through a fine mesh sieve.

I never leave a comment, but I'm fan of your blog. My blog is about Paris but I put yours in my list of blogs there. You are a great teacher of the cuisine life and your blog is just fantastic.
Moniqke Moraes,
Thanks so much for your kind words!
I am utterly addicted to lilikoi/passion fruit. I used to buy the jam and curd all the time at the farmer's market in Hawaii. Now that I live on the other side of the country, I'll have to try and replicate those tasty treats. Thanks for this, I will surely give it a try.
That sounds like an excellent recipe Lucy. I can't wait to try it. I remember last mothers day we had passion fruit mimosas for brunch and was a shockingly good combination. I get all of my passion fruit from http://farmtropical.com. They ship fast, great customer service and are fairly priced considering the shipping is free.
