Pear Sorbetto Recipe

Prepare the Pears

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

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.

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.

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).

Serve

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