Easy Pear Sorbet is made with fresh pears and just a few other simple ingredients. Only four ingredients for this delicious non-dairy frozen treat – no ice cream maker necessary!
Have you ever had Pear Sorbet? I never had until I figured out how to make my own! We absolutely love pears and enjoying them in this frozen dessert is a great way to eat them up!
The recipe uses white grape juice or apple juice, but you can also use pear juice if you have some on hand. You can use any type of fruit juice that you want, but if you use another kind, the flavor might overpower the flavor of the pears.
SORBET VS. SHERBET – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Are sherbet and sorbet 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.
Sherbet is generally made with some sort of fruit juice and some type of dairy as well.
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 it is completely frozen. I just make mine a day or two before I need it. If you keep it in the freezer in an airtight container, it will easily stay good for a week or two!
Ingredients in Pear Sorbet
- 5 small pears, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup white grape juice or apple juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 tsp lemon juice
How to make Pear Sorbet
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes and then cool slightly. Pour mixture into a blender and blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Pour into a freezable container, cover with a lid and freeze for about 4 hours or until firm. You can serve 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 smoother consistency.
