Pomegranate Curd Ingredients:

Egg Yolks
Pomegranate Juice
Sugar
Butter, melted and cooled

Sous Vide Pomegranate Curd Instructions:

Separate 10 yolks from their whites. Save the whites for another recipe.
In a food processor, blend the sugar until the sugar is a fine powder.
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.
While the food processor is will running, pour the melted and cooled butter into the yolk/juice mixture.
Strain the mixture through a super fine mesh strainer to help remove any foam.
Fill half pint jelly jars with the pomegranate curd mixture.
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.
Neither of these options are necessary, it is more about getting a smooth texture from top to bottom.
Place a lid and ring on top of the jars. Make them finger tight.

Sous Vide Instructions

In a large stock pot, set your sous vide to 167 °F / 75 °C.
Once heated, carefully lower the jars into the water with a jar lifter.
Make sure there is water completely surrounding the jars.
Cook for 1 hour.
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.
