I'm allergic to pears, so I substituted apples in this recipe. It turned out great! The apple flavor was just as delicious as the pear flavor.

This sorbet is a great way to use up leftover pears. I had a few pears that were starting to go bad, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

The sorbet didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked. I think I might have overprocessed it.

The sorbet was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This ginger pear sorbet was a delightful treat! The flavors of the ginger and pear complemented each other perfectly, and the sorbet had a smooth and creamy texture. It was the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.
