excellent recipe. I used a cup of fresh passionfruit, and a cup of lemon juice. This came out fairly tart, but I like it like that :) I got 4 small jars, only one left .......made for Aussie swap june 2010

This is fantastic! Of course, I love both of these flavors. We love it served on English Muffins or pancakes even.

Such a rich and creamy Butter Jubes. I followed this recipe exactly except for I did most of mine in the microwave on a very low setting, and it turned out brilliantly. It tasted as fantastic as it looked. DH & DD absolutley loved it! This butter would make a great filling for a sponge cake, but I dont think there will be any left! I got 2 jars from this recipe, so I will be making more very soon. Thanks **Jubes** a great recipe find. Thanks for sharing.
