Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Peel pears, and put them immediately into cold water with the juice of half a lemon, or a pinch of vitamin C added.

We do that because peeled pears turn brown quickly.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Drain pears, cut into quarters and discard core.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Cut quarters into small pieces and put in the goblet of a blender.

Add juice of half a lemon, a pinch of vitamin C, 1 tablespoon pear eau-de-vie and 350 ml Sugar syrup.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Mix until you obtain a smooth puree.

Put in the fridge, or freezer, in a sealed container if not to be used immediately.

We do that so that the mixture is very cold before putting in the ice cream maker.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Pour into the ice-cream maker.

Stage 6 - 25 min.

And churn the sorbet.

Stage 7

Serve on its own or as the basis for other desserts.

Remarks

You can use this method for apple or peach sorbet. The important thing is to use the best fruit you can find.

Keeping

Several weeks in the freezer.
