Instructions

Blend 1 1/2 cups of the arils with the water, then press through a fine-mesh sieve; you should have about 3/4 cup juice. Keep the remaining arils whole.
In a medium saucepan, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt, then whisk in the pomegranate juice until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and turns thick and glossy; boil for 1 full minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and butter, then fold in the whole arils.
Pour into the prebaked crust and smooth the top. Cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.

Tips

Vanilla boost: add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract with the other flavorings for a rounder, warmer flavor.
Storage: Refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.
