Passionfruit Butter by Nay-nay

[Coops]

Ok, so this is the curd recipe I have used before:

and this is the lemon butter recipe that I use:

both are amazing, but you can see that the curd uses a lot less butter and sugar, it comes out a brighter colour and is more tart, and I think thicker?

Thanks Coops.

Ummm well this is a curd recipe - I think it is adapted from the 'Family circle homemade jams and preserves' cookbook on the curd page where I have found lemon, strawberry, mango and lime and also dried apricot curd recipes. As far as I knew we call it butter and others call it curd. I have just made this last week and used these amounts and ingredients I have mentioned but the EDC directions for lemon butter (p 147) Butterfly in for 8min, at 80^oC sp 3 and it worked perfectly

Curd or butter . . . it's delicious!  Thanks for sharing

We had some passion fruit butter when we were in Melbourne. I am going to make some as we both loved it. I also like the sound of the strawberry and the mango. Worth a try I think.

I have a bag of passionfruit languishing in the freezer and am tempted to make this. Stupid question alert.....passionfruit pulp....do I remove the seeds?

The recipe doesn't say too. One lot we tasted still had the seeds and the other lot had the seeds removed. Possibly preference I guess

I hate passionfruit seeds, they might look nice but the crunch of them to me is like eating little beetles    Not that I've ever eaten beetles

Yes, I'd have to agree with you Judy!

Thanks ladies. I'll do it without.

For some silly reason this has made me have a good laugh.

I made this yesterday. It is lovely. I used a tin of Passionfruit as they are $2.98 each at the moment. It is lovely. I kept most of the seeds back And only put a few in.

So the canned variety works as well as fresh then Cookie, glad to see you left most of the seeds out though

Didn't want too many beetles in them Judy.
