Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 ripe pears (peeled, cored and chopped)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup Sweet Riesling Wine (I used Chateau Ste Michelle Harvest Select Sweet Riesling - very affordable)
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup light corn syrup

Instruction

  • Combine the sugar, wine, water and corn syrup in a medium saucepan.  Stir to combine.  Add the chopped pears and heat on medium until the mixture comes to a boil.  Simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until the pears are very soft.
  • Remove the pear mixture from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.  Transfer the mixture to a professional grade blender or process in batches in a food processor.  Puree until the pears are completely smooth.  Pour the warm mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl.  Push the solids through the sieve into the bowl.
  • Pour the puree into a large Ziplock bag and seal.  Set the bag in a large mixing bowl filled with ice and water.  Allow the pear puree to chill for 30 minutes then process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer directions.
  • Store in a sealed, freezer safe container for at least 4 hours before serving.
