Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh passion fruit pulp
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional, for added tartness)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the passion fruit pulp, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined and smooth.

Step 2

Pour the mixture into a medium-sized saucepan (non-reactive, such as stainless steel) and place it over low to medium-low heat.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly with a heatproof silicone spatula or wooden spoon to prevent it from curdling. Be patient, as it will take time to thicken.

Step 4

Once the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon (typically after 8–10 minutes), reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Add the cubed butter, one piece at a time, stirring until each piece is fully melted and incorporated before adding the next.

Step 6

For extra tartness, stir in the optional lemon juice at this stage, then remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 7

Strain the lilikoi butter through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any egg solids and achieve a silky texture.

Step 8

Let the lilikoi butter cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled lilikoi butter into clean, sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
