Pear Sorbetto Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pears

   Peel, core, and chop the pears into small pieces. Set aside.

2. 2

   Poach the Pears

   In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the chopped pears and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the pears are tender.

3. 3

   Blend the Mixture

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Then, using a blender or food processor, blend the poached pears and liquid until smooth. Add vanilla extract and blend again to combine.

4. 4

   Chill and Freeze

   Transfer the pear mixture to a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals, until the sorbetto reaches a smooth consistency (about 2-4 hours).

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the sorbetto is set, scoop into bowls and serve immediately.
