Tips:

- Use fresh passion fruits if available.: Fresh passion fruit pulp will yield the most vibrant flavor. If fresh fruit isn't available, you can use frozen pulp or high-quality passion fruit puree.

- Strain the passion fruit pulp.: For a smoother curd, strain the passion fruit pulp to remove the seeds before starting the cooking process.

- Cook on low heat.: To avoid curdling, cook your curd over low heat and stir continuously. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture.

- Use a double boiler.: If you have a double boiler, use it to gently heat the curd mixture. This helps in preventing the eggs from cooking too quickly and creating a lumpy texture.

- Chill before serving.: For the best consistency and flavor, chill the curd in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

- Store properly.: Keep your passionfruit curd in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. If you want to store it longer, consider freezing it.

Once your passionfruit curd is cooked to perfection, you'll have a deliciously tangy and sweet spread that's incredibly versatile. Enjoy it on toast, scones, or as a filling for tarts and pastries. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and savor the tropical delight whenever you desire. Your homemade passionfruit curd will not only enhance your breakfast and desserts but also make an impressive gift for friends and family.
