Passionfruit Butter

This is the same recipe my mother used to make, I could not read the amount of butter in her handwritten recipe book as the writing has faded over the years, but was so lucky enough to find this same recipe in the paper. I used to love this as a kid, now I am waiting for the passionfruit season to bring back those childhood memories and taste it once again!
