Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 0.333 cup Lemon juice
- 0.333 cup Passionfruit pulp
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the lemon juice, passionfruit pulp, lemon zest, and salt to the egg mixture. Whisk until incorporated.
Pour the mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan or a double boiler to prevent scorching.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add them to the saucepan.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to avoid curdling.
Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the Lemon Passionfruit Butter through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
Allow the butter to cool slightly, then transfer it into sterilized jars. Seal tightly.
Refrigerate the Lemon Passionfruit Butter for up to two weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature as desired.
