PEAR SORBET

A touch of sweet white wine and citrus makes this lovely pear sorbet so refreshing. You can use canned pears when fresh ones aren't available. And lime juice is a nice substitute for lemon.- Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri

PEAR AND RED WINE SORBET



Pear and Red Wine Sorbet image

This sorbet might sound unusual, but it's a sophisticated (and delicious) twist on the standard one-note fruit sorbet: the sweetness of the pears and the acidity of the red wine balance each another out, a sprinkle of black pepper adds bite and a baseline of cinnamon and vanilla warm it all up. It couldn't be easier to make (sauté, blend and freeze) and it's gorgeous to boot.

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 2h

Yield One quart

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds ripe pears (4 medium to large pears, like Bartlett pears)
1/2 cup sugar, preferably organic fair-trade
1 1/2 cups red wine
1 1/2 cups water
1 2- or 3-inch cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Peel, core and quarter the pears. Place them in a medium saucepan with the sugar, red wine, water, cinnamon stick and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the pears are soft and translucent. This will take 15 to 20 minutes if the pears are ripe and soft to begin with, or about 30 minutes if they're somewhat hard. Add the pepper.
  • Using tongs, remove the pears to a bowl. Remove the cinnamon stick from the poaching liquid, and discard. Turn up the heat, and reduce until the mixture has the consistency of a thin syrup. (This step may be unnecessary, depending on how long you cooked the pears and how juicy they were.)
  • Place the pears, in batches, in a blender, or place all of them in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Purée until smooth. Slowly add the poaching liquid and the lemon juice, and blend together. Transfer to a bowl, and chill. Meanwhile, place a 1-quart container in the freezer.
  • Freeze in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to the chilled container, and freeze for at least two hours before serving. If frozen solid, allow to soften in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.

POACHED PEARS IN SPICED RED WINE

A completely fat-free pud that isn't boring. It's not just Good Food, it's genius

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 vanilla pod
1 bottle red wine
225g caster sugar
1 cinnamon stick, halved
fresh thyme sprig, plus sprigs to seve
6 pears, peeled, but kept whole with stalk intact

Steps:

  • Halve the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape out the black seeds and put in a large saucepan with the wine, sugar, cinnamon and thyme. Cut each piece of pod into three long thin strips, add to pan, then lower in the pears.
  • Poach the pears, covered, for 20-30 mins, making sure they are covered in the wine. The cooking time will very much depend on the ripeness of your pears - they should be tender all the way through when pierced with a cocktail stick. You can make these up to 2 days ahead and chill.
  • Take the pears from the pan, then boil the liquid to reduce it by half so that it's syrupy. Serve each pear with the cooled syrup, a strip of vanilla, a piece of cinnamon and a small thyme sprig.
