When I give presents i tend to opt for something i would want myself. So there's no difference when it comes to presents that i cook. One of my favourite things to eat is passionfruit curd, or butter whichever you like to call it. Smeared onto toast or wedged into a hot croissant, this stuff makes for a perfect stocking filler. Some may even take a spoon to it and eat the whole thing straight from the jar.
(Guilty as charged)
This is a small recipe enough to make 4 medium-sized bottles
-which for me covers Granmah, Nanna, my Mum and even one for myself!
This is easy-peasy-passionfruity, and only takes about 25 minutes to make!
Passionfruit Butter.
3 eggs
30g Butter chopped to small dice.
200g sugar
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
The extract of 12 Small but Sweet wrinkly passion fruits.
1. Take a medium sized saucepan and add your sugar, passionfruit, butter and lime juice.
2. Whip up the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the saucepan.
3. Put over low heat and stir with a whisk for 2 minutes.
4. Swap the whisk for a spatula and wipe the edges of the pan to avoid catching (We don't want scrambled eggs)
5. Stir and cook on a low heat for 15 minutes. (Figure 8's help here to make sure you get all the sides of the pan)
6. Poor the mix into hot washed jars, seal with lids and let set in the fridge.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
