Pomegranate curd in mason jar

Pomegranate Curd Recipe

Pomegranate curd is a delicious blend of tart pomegranate juice delicately cooked to a custard-like mixture made from pomegranate juice, sugar, butter, and egg yolks. My sous vide pomegranate curd recipe is cooked in mason jars.The sous vide will keep the ingredients at a constant temperature, cooking the curd smooth as silk.

Pomegranate Curd Ingredients:

  • 10 Egg Yolks
  • 1 Cup Pomegranate Juice
  • 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
  • 1 1/2 Sticks Butter, melted and cooled

Sous Vide Pomegranate Curd Instructions:

  1. Separate 10 yolks from their whites. Save the whites for another recipe.
  2. In a food processor, blend the sugar until the sugar is a fine powder.
  3. With the food processor running, pour in the 1 cup pomegranate juice. Then, add the egg yolks, one at a time allowing each one to incorporate fully.
  4. While the food processor is will running, pour the melted and cooled butter into the yolk/juice mixture.
  5. Strain the mixture through a super fine mesh strainer to help remove any foam.
  6. Fill half pint jelly jars with the pomegranate curd mixture.
  7. If there is still a bit of foam or bubbles on the top of the curd, and it bothers you, firmly rap the jars on the counter to pop the bubbles. Or you can use a kitchen torch to quickly remove them.
  8. Neither of these options are necessary, it is more about getting a smooth texture from top to bottom.
  9. Place a lid and ring on top of the jars. Make them finger tight.

 


Sous Vide Instructions

  1. In a large stock pot, set your sous vide to 167 °F / 75 °C.
  2. Once heated, carefully lower the jars into the water with a jar lifter.
  3. Make sure there is water completely surrounding the jars.
  4. Cook for 1 hour.
  5. Carefully remove from the water and allow to rest to cool to room temperature and then store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Seriously, the silkiest pomegranate curd! There was no need to pass this through a fine mesh strainer to get our any coagulated egg bits.

When the jars are first opened they might have a bit of foam on the top. This is not a big deal, do not be alarmed.

 

Simply give it a gentle stir and the foam incorporates into the rest of the curd.
