8 Cactus Pears (about 2.5 pounds)
1 tablespoon Organic Blue Agave Syrup
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cut pears in half lengthwise. Scoop out flesh with a spoon and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Purée cactus pear (prickly pear) in food processor or blender.
Pass through food mill or fine strainer into a bowl to remove seeds. There should be about 2-1/2 cups of pear puree. Flavor puree with Melissa’s Organic Agave Nectar, fresh lime juice and vanilla extract.
Chill the mixture thoroughly, and then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
This refreshing sorbet is rich in color and light in texture. Flavor to taste with extra agave or lime juice if desired. Be sure to wear gloves while handling the whole pears as they may contain a residual thorn or two.
