Author Notes
I love this combination of sweet pears, a tart reisling, and spicy ginger! The flavors come together perfectly to create the perfect refreshing summer popsicle!
(Recipe adapted from Max Falkowitz's Pear Reisling Sorbet) —Ashlynn Campagna
Ingredients
-
3
ripe Anjou pears, coarsely chopped
-
1 1/2 cups
Riesling (late harvest)
-
2 tablespoons
chopped ginger
-
1 cup
sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1
vanilla bean, split lengthwise
-
2 teaspoons
fresh lemon juice
-
1/2 teaspoon
kosher salt
Directions
-
Combine pears, reisling, ginger, cinnamon and seeds scraped from a vanilla bean (alternatively, if you have a bean pod from a previous use, you can throw the pod in to add the flavor) in a saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil.
-
Once mixture begins to boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
-
Carefully transfer pear mixture to a blender and allow to cool for several minutes. Then add the sugar and blend until smooth.
-
At this point, you can pour the mixture through a strainer and then into the popsicle molds. If you like the small chunks of pear or ginger, skip the straining step and pour the pureed mixture into the popsicle molds
-
Freeze for about 5 hours and enjoy!
