How to make Easy Pear Sorbet

Prep

Start by peeling each pear and slicing into eight even pieces.

Cook

Next, transfer the sliced pears into a medium saucepan. Then add the juice, sugar and lemon juice. Bring this mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Let this mixture cool for about 3-5 minutes.

Blend

Proceed to pour the pear mixture into a blender and blend on medium/high for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is completely smooth.  

Freeze

After that, pour the mixture into a freezable container, cover with a lid and place in the freezer for about 4 hours or until firm.  

Serve

Once the sorbet has frozen, you can serve it straight out of the freezer, or you can put the frozen sorbet back into the blender for about 20-30 seconds right before serving (if you prefer a smooth consistency).

Enjoy this tasty frozen treat!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE SORBET?

You only have to spend about 10-15 minutes actually making the sorbet, but then you do have to allow about 4 hours of freezing time until it is completely frozen. I just make mine a day or two before I need it.

HOW LONG IS HOMEMADE PEAR SORBET GOOD FOR?

If you store homemade sorbet properly, it will be good for about 1-2 weeks. The perfect amount of time to enjoy it a few times! You want to store it in an airtight container.

HOW DO YOU STORE HOMEMADE SORBET?

It should be stored in the coldest part of the freezer, preferably not in the door. You do not want the sorbet to melt and refreeze, to prevent ice crystals from forming. Store on a shelf, in the middle section of the freezer for maximum results.

SORBET VS. SHERBET – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Are sherbet and sorbet the same thing? No, they are not the same thing. Sorbets are usually dairy-free, mostly made with fruit and ice. In this recipe, you don’t add ice to the fruit, but fruit juice and a little bit of sugar before pureeing and freezing. While sherbet is generally made with some sort of fruit juice and some type of dairy as well.
