The Simplest Way to Make Passionfruit Curd

When we were kids we had a passionfruit vine, which I loved.  We would get fresh passionfruit on our fruit salad and pavlovas but there was another fabulous reason to love passionfruit. Mum would make passionfruit curd, or passionfruit butter, as it was known in those days, with the surplus passionfruits.

Passionfruit Butter Tarts

As kids, we used to pick the passionfruit, then hold off eating them in the hope of getting passionfruit butter. Happily, we now have neighbours with a passionfruit vine. Recently the vine has been producing an abundance of passionfruits so I happily converted our family recipe for the Thermomix. This was an old “Switched on Living” recipe that is now all tattered and torn. When I used to make the recipe as a teenager I used a double boiler system (one large saucepan full of water with the smaller saucepan balancing on top with the curd ingredients.

Thermomix Passionfruit Curd

This passionfruit butter recipe was an old “Switched on Living” recipe that is now all tattered and torn from overuse. When I used to make the recipe as a teenager I needed to use a double boiler system (one large saucepan full of water, with the smaller saucepan balancing on top). The small saucepan, with the curd ingredients needed to be stirred constantly as it was heated. Happily, this delicious treat is now so much simpler to make in the Thermomix.
