Lemon Passionfruit Curd

I saw this recipe in the sunday's newspaper life page & i got quite a lot of passion fruit in my fridge, so i decided to try it out. Its got a nice refreshing taste and a bit of sour taste because of the lemon, but you can add more sugar if you like it to be sweeter. I eat it for breakfast with my toast.
