Pear Riesling Sorbet
If ice cream is made for summer, fruit sorbet, like Pear Riesling Sorbet is made for fall--with a sweet pear flavor and sophisticated hint of white wine.
Ingredients
- 6 pears unpeeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces (approx 1 3/4 lb)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup Riesling or other white wine
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat and simmer until the pears are soft, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Puree the pear mixture in a blender one batch at a time until completely smooth. Strain, pushing pulp through the strainer. (I re-pureed whatever didn't go through with fresh pulp until the last batch, then discarded the solids that were left)
- Chill mixture in the freezer stirring occasionally until cool (or cool in the refrigerator or a bag in ice water).
- Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer directions.
- Transfer to a storage container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
Notes
Makes about a quart.
