  • Prep Time 30 minutes
  • Total Time 8 hours
  • Yield Makes 1 quart

Ingredients

    • 1 cup dry red wine
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 1 pound ripe Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces (2 cups)
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • Coarse salt

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring wine, 1 1/4 cups water, and sugar to a boil over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Add pears; reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt; cool completely. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Freeze until solid, about 6 hours (or overnight).
  3. With a fork, break frozen mixture into large pieces. In two batches, puree in a food processor until completely smooth, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to an airtight container; freeze until ready to serve (sorbet will be soft).
