How to Make Lemon Passionfruit Butter

  1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Place the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water (use a steamer basket or heatproof stand if needed).
  3. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 1/2 cup of passionfruit pulp, 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Continue whisking over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens significantly and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently.
  5. Do not boil! Remove from heat immediately if it shows signs of boiling.
  6. Pour the hot mixture into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal tightly.
  7. Allow to cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2 weeks.
