Posh Pear Sorbet

Pear pulp plus some extra time spinning in the ice cream maker makes this non-dairy sorbet creamier than Haagen Dazs but of course with a fraction of the calories. Hopefully the Beckhams won't mind me using Victoria's moniker because this simple, super-lite dessert is so dreamy and luscious that "posh" is the only word that comes to mind.

Instructions

In a medium sauce pan, heat 2 cups water with the honey and pears over medium high heat and bring to a boil.
1 ¼ lb Bartlett pears, cut into cubes (leave peels on), ½ cup raw organic honey, 2 cups water
Next reduce heat to a medium simmer and partially cover the pan.
Let pears simmer 20-25 minutes or until they are very tender.
Remove from heat and stir in salt and lemon juice.
1 lemon, ¼ tsp sea salt
Mash mixture through a fine mesh strainer or a food mill to remove skins. Whisk to blend evenly.
Pour purée into a 9 x 13 glass baking dish and cool in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Pour into an ice cream maker and spin/freeze for 25-40 minutes (or according to manufacturer directions). I found that the after spinning my pear sorbet for 40 minutes it became incredibly creamy.
For a firmer texture, transfer into an airtight container such as a plastic deli cup and freeze for another 8 hours before serving.
Serve with pear slices or a twist of lemon peel and fresh mint leaves.
twist of lemon peel, fresh mint leaves, pear slices
