Ingredients
10 prickly pears (about 4 pounds)
1 cup simple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 cup lime zest
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Directions
- Wearing your rubber gloves, wash and skin pears. Be careful of the very tiny spines. Add all ingredients except mint to a blender and puree until smooth. Reduce liquid in half on medium heat. Strain and let cool.
- Note: Before freezing the puree, adjust the flavor with sugar and cranberry juice, to taste. Freeze puree in an ice cream maker and you're ready to scoop.
- Garnish with fresh mint.
