Using, Cooling and Storing Passion Fruit Curd

- Remove the sterilized jar from the water and pour the hot passion fruit curd into the jar.
- Close the jar with the lid. Store in the fridge overnight, to completely chill the curd.
- The passion fruit curd will last in the fridge for about 3 weeks (with unopened sterilized jars), or about 7 days with unsterilized jars or bowls.
