sorbet

And although technically not a bake, one of my favorite things to make out of pears is sorbet.

As luck has it, there is a gelato joint next door and so we continue his lead, sit on the terrace, people-watch and while away and enjoy lemon sorbet.

Dessert was a refreshing Asian pear sorbet with cinnamon date punch, the perfect light end to a sensational meal.

Water ice is somewhere between a slushie and a sorbet, with delicate ice crystals that make it wonderfully refreshing.

They are the color of blush and sidewalk chalk, with the texture of something halfway between sorbet and nostalgia.
