Ingredients
- 4 ripe pears
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the ripe pears into small pieces.
Step 2
Add the chopped pears, granulated sugar, and lemon juice into a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until smooth, ensuring there are no large chunks of pear remaining.
Step 4
Gradually add the water to the blender while blending to create a smooth, pourable consistency.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar, if needed.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for 1 hour.
Step 8
After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture to break up ice crystals and create a fluffy texture.
Step 9
Repeat this scraping process every 30 minutes for a total of 3 hours, or until the pear ice is fully frozen and has a granular texture.
Step 10
Scoop the pear ice into serving dishes and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
