Passionfruit butter spread
You can just top just about anything with passionfruit simply scooped out of its shell. But a little extra effort, you get a great spread that makes toast, English muffin, or cracker a dessert. Extravagant breakfast beckons with the swish of a butter knife. It's also a great icing for your choice of cake. Ice while the cake's warm for some oozing into the cake itself. It makes 3 cups so you can store in the refrigerator or freezer for future treats.
