• Preparation : 10 min + 25 min
• Cooking : 10 min
In a saucepan, dissolve the sugar in 300 ml water
and add the vanilla pod, split lengthways. Bring to
the boil.
Wash the pears, discard the pips and cut into
pieces. Add the juice of the half-lemon to the
boiling syrup, followed by the pear. Lower the heat
and simmer for 5 min.
Turn off the heat, remove the vanilla pod and leave
to cool. Process the pears and syrup in the juice
extractor or the coulis maker (with this function,
you will retain more of the fruit's texture), then
add a tablespoon of pear eau-de-vie. When it is
completely cold, pour the mixture into the sorbet
maker and freeze for approx. 25 minutes.
Transfer to a terrine and keep in the freezer.
Serve with chocolate sauce or a red fruit coulis
(p. 52).
