Method
- Combine passionfruit, lemon juice and ring, sugar and butter in a heavy-based saucepan and cook, stirring over low heat until sugar has dissolved and butter has just melted. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and add eggs in a thin stream, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon.
- Return to a very low heat and cook, stirring continuously for 15 minutes or until mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Be sure not to let the mixture simmer or boil. Cool to room temperature before refrigerating in clean jars.
