It’s time to get back to the larder and this Passion fruit and lemon curd takes your usual lemon curd into a whole new dimension. It is so tasty and is super simple to make. Once you’ve tried this one you will be adding it to your curd recipe list and making it again and again.
Packed with flavour
This recipe for passion fruit and lemon curd will make two small jars of this zingy flavourful curd. Remember that curds must be kept in the fridge and used within 2 weeks as they contain eggs so don’t last for long. I’ve yet to ever have any curd left after two weeks as it is something that always gets eaten up very quickly in this household.
When you are selecting your passion fruits the wrinkled ones are best as they have more flavour (just like people really!).
This is a lovely spring like recipe perfect for this time of year, just look at that glowing golden colour, it just makes you want to smile.
So many uses
Like all curds I like to use this passion fruit and lemon curd in a variety of ways (which is why it never lasts long!) from the obvious slathering it on toast, to adding a good dollop to some Greek yogurt to make a super simple dessert to using it as a filling in a simple sponge cake or even stirring it into good plain vanilla ice-cream and then freezing it, yummy!
However you choose to use this passion fruit and lemon curd I’m sure you’ll love it.

Thanks
G’day from Oz! I have just made a batch of your wonderful recipe. I was able to fill two small jam jars. I will give mum one, which she’ll scoff it down fast lol. I have made Lemon Curd before but this is so much better. I will be having some on my toast later and I can’t wait! Licking up the bowl after ladling in jars is a must! Thank you for this recipe and I certainly will be making this on a regular occasion! – Shell.
Hi Shell,
