My only thought is do you want the black passionfruit seeds to be seen or not? If you throw it all in, the seeds will probably be chopped :)
Maybe reverse function?

Just saw a recipe for Passionfruit Curd on Nigella's website. Wat do you think guys, make as per Tenina's recipe and mix through Passionfruit at the end, or put it all in? She uses 11 passion fruits, but I am wondering if a small tin would be enough flavour?
Found this recipe hopefulcook thats for the TM ;)

I have noted on my Tenina's Lemon Curd recipe that to make it passionfruit curd, make as usual, then at the end stir through pulp from 1-2 passionfruits, 5-7sec, reverse, speed 3.

Thanks for the tips. In the end I followed Tenina's recipe, but only used zest and juice of half a lemon and added a small tin of passion fruit. The seeds stayed in tact. As usual it is delicious, I can taste the passion fruit, but it is not overwhelming. Just had a spoonful on Greek yogurt for breakfast.

I doubled the recipe twice but did it in separate batches.Must have small lemons here as I only got 5 jars in total. :D :D
Four are Christmas gifts for my chair caning buddies that I see tonight at my evening class. ;D

Well, I just wish I had a bigger spatula. Because I was disconsolate this afternoon after the licking of it was done!  ;D

I have made jars and jars of this lemon curd recipe but today for some reason it just didn't work :( After the first lot failed (even after cooking it for extra minutes) I did it again with fresh ingredients but didn't get my usual result.It's OK but not as thick as I wanted.And of course I wanted to give it as a gift :-)) Looks like Lemon meringue Pie in on the menu to use up the failed stuff ;) :D

Very mysterious. This is the only recipe I use and like you I have made jars and jars of it. One batch won 2nd prize at the local show. As you will know, it does thicken up when it cools down. Could your scales have been out? I always do Judy's little trick of weighing the mc before I proceed.

That's a good point Kimmy.  My scales have been acting a little strangely on and off lately so when they do that I don't trust them and weigh on my digital scales until things settle down again which they seem to do.

Wow! I've tried so many recipes in the quest for the perfect curd and I've found it!! I used half lemon juice and half lime juice (for interest's sake it was 90g), and 3 whole eggs rather than 2+1 yolk, as I hate waste and never get around to making meringues as I intend to! A definite bowl licker!
