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, ½ tablespoon pear eau-de-vie and 175 g 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
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.
