Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: Pears should be slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet, fragrant aroma. Avoid pears that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Use a variety of pears: Different varieties of pears offer different flavors and textures. For a more complex flavor, try using a mix of different varieties in your ice.
  • Peel and core the pears: Before freezing the pears, peel and core them to remove the skin and seeds. This will help the pears freeze more evenly and prevent them from becoming too icy.
  • Freeze the pears in a single layer: When freezing the pears, spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them freeze quickly and evenly.
  • Use frozen pears within 6 months: Frozen pears can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. After this time, they may start to lose their flavor and texture.
