Pear Sorbet Recipe

Ingredients

4 ripe pears, peeled and diced (seeds removed)

2 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (approximately 1/2 a lemon's juice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine the diced pears, frozen banana slices, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using).

Blend until smooth, scraping down the mixture with a silicone spatula as necessary.

Taste the mixture and adjust the flavor if needed, adding more lemon juice for tartness or cinnamon for warmth.

Transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until firm.

Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop into bowls.

Enjoy!

This refreshing pear sorbet is naturally sweetened by the ripe pears and bananas, making it a healthy treat to savor before summer ends or, if it's your preference, prepare this recipe throughout the pear season's duration!
