Lemon and Passion Fruit Butter

August 23, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 15 Comments

This is an easy Lemon Butter recipe that is made in the microwave. The passion fruit adds a nice flavour to traditional lemon curd/lemon butter.

Ingredients:
1 lemon
150 g (5.3 oz) sugar
50 g  (1.7 oz) butter
2 eggs
3 passion fruit

(makes 1 1/2 cups)

Using a deep bowl, add finely grated lemon zest and the juice of the lemon. Add the passion fruit pulp. Mix in sugar and eggs and stir until well combined. Add the butter. Cook in microwave on 100% power for 5 minutes, stirring well after each minute. Watch the mixture to make sure it does not boil (or you will end up with scrambled eggs). Bottle in sterilised jars while hot.

Refrigerate Lemon butter for up to 2 weeks. It is delicious on toast or as a filling for sponge cakes.

Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouc Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouch today — a sweet little project that’s as practical as it is pretty. I stitched this one in the blue and gold colourway of the Tilda Songbird collection and love how the soft watercolour florals shine in a small make. The pouch features cleverly shaped panels (with no boxed corners), stands tall when in use, and folds completely flat for storage. It’s also reversible, which makes it such a fun and versatile sew.   These little pouches are perfect for organising your sewing room, gifting to a friend, or popping into a project bag.The pattern includes three sizes, and you can find it in both my Pattern Store and Etsy shop. Comment HANDY and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox.A big thank you to @tilda_australia for gifting the beautiful fabric.#tildasongbird #drawstringbagpattern #aspoonfulofsugardesigns #tildafabrics #sewingproject
