Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the passion fruit, lemon juice and ring, sugar, salt and butter in a heavy-based saucepan and cook, stirring over low heat until sugar has dissolved and butter has just melted. Do not boil.
Step 2
Remove saucepan from heat, stand for a few minutes and add eggs in a thin stream, stirring continuously and vigorously with a wooden spoon.
Step 3
Return saucepan to a very low heat and cook, stirring continuously for 15 minutes or until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon.
Step 4
Cool to room temperature before refrigerating or bottling in sterilized jars.
Step 5
This curd should be stored in the fridge in a sealed jar where it will last for up to 2 months. However, once the jar has been opened it must be used up within 2 weeks.
