Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 15 min.
Pear sorbet
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.
Pear sorbet
Drain pears, cut into quarters and discard core.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Pear sorbet
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.
Pear sorbet
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.
Pear sorbet
Pour into the ice-cream maker.

Stage 6 - 25 min.
Pear sorbet
And churn the sorbet.

Stage 7
Pear sorbet
Serve on its own or as the basis for other desserts.
Remarks
