Poached Pears with Chocolate Sorbet

Category:     Dessert

Description:
I got this basic recipe from a magazine, and am unable to locate it. Therefore, I have guessed at ingredients and amounts. I just made up the recipe for chocolate sorbet since it would probably contain 'avoids' if I purchased it. I was born in a dairy family, and I miss whipped cream desserts, so something like this will have to satisfy my dessert cravings. Note: if you are a blood type that cannot eat sugar, I would suggest poaching the pears with just cinnamon-water mixture. I would also suggest making the chocolate sorbet without the sugar and adding some natural pureed pear juice or white grape juice as a natural sweetener.


General applicability:

Poached Pears with Chocolate Sorbet
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • Pear
  • Lime or lemon juice, optional
  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Cinnamon or Cinnamon Stick
  • Cocoa


How to make it:
  • Chocolate Sorbet:
  • In a sauce pot, pour in 2 cups water and 1 cup sugar.
  • Add 3 Tablespoon cocoa (I used organic from the health food store, but sometimes use Hershey's.
  • Check carefully because cocoas sometimes contain 'avoid' ingredients).
  • Cook this mixture over low to medium heat until cocoa and sugar are dissolved.
  • Adjust sugar and cocoa to your taste - you may want more or less - I just guessed.
  • Allow mixture to sit and cool to room temperature.
  • Freeze until slushy in a small container.
  • Poached Pear (I only made one - you can do more):
  • Peel, core, and cut in half one pear (I used D'Anjou - Bosc would probably work just as well).
  • In small sauce pot, add one cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or a cinnamon stick, if you prefer) (or another spice if you cannot eat cinnamon).
  • I squeezed the juice of one Bears lime into the pot, but I suppose this might be optional.
  • Heat the sugar-water-cinnamon mixture over low to medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add cut pears to sugar-water mixture (with cut side facing down).
  • Simmer 5 minutes.
  • Turn pear halves over and simmer 2-3 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate.
  • When pears are chilled and sorbet is frozen, place one pear half in a dish.
  • Drizzle about 1/4 cup syrup over the pear and place a small scoop of sorbet in the center.
  • Enjoy!
