PEAR SORBET
I used a food mill for this recipe but you could also place the pears in 
a large blender, food processor or potato ricer.

Serves 10

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar (raw or super-fine)
2 cups water
25oz prepared pear halves, in syrup or poached
1 cup champagne

Directions:
·        In a medium stock pot, mix 2 cups sugar with 2 cups water. Place pot over medium heat, stirring constantly. You want to make sure that the syrup doesn’t boil, but do make sure that the sugar dissolves completely.
·        Remove sugar water from heat and let it cool. This is now our simple syrup.
·        Place pears a large food mill. Purée into a large bowl.
·        Pour simple syrup into the bowl and mix.
·        Add champagne and mix.
·        Place a 9 x 12 baking pan in your freezer. Pour the sorbet into the pan while it’s in your freezer. Every hour, you have to break up the sorbet with a fork or else it will freeze solid.
