A simply delicious and low-fat dessert, this Pear-Ginger Sorbet turns a can of pears into a perfectly refreshing after-dinner treat.
INGREDIENTS (for 3 servings):
- 1 (15 ounce) can pears in heavy syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon minced gingerroot
PREPARATION:
Place unopened can of fruit in freezer until solid (approx. 24 hours; can may bulge slightly). Submerge unopened frozen can in very hot tap water for 1 minute.
Open can and pour any thawed syrup into food processor bowl. Remove frozen fruit from can; carefully cut into 8 chunks.
Place frozen fruit chunks into food processor; add flavoring. Process until smooth, scraping blade as needed.
