Ingredients

• 4 large Ripe pears
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Pear liqueur (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and dice the pears into small chunks.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar completely dissolves. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Place the diced pears into a blender or food processor. Add the cooled sugar syrup, lemon juice, and pear liqueur (if using). Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any pulp or fibers, ensuring a smooth sorbet texture.

Step 5

Transfer the strained pear mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 1 hour, then stir vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3 hours, or until the sorbet is smooth and scoopable.

Step 7

Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
