This year has put many more Black-owned brands on people's radars and I'm here for it. One that I've personally enjoyed seeing shine is McBride Sisters. Their Black Girl Magic wines are a staple in my home bar and I incorporated their Riesling into the luscious honey pear Riesling sorbet recipe we're about to discuss. This isn't an officially-sanctioned Black Girl Magic wine sorbet but I think the McBride Sisters would enjoy it. Whether or not you've always wanted to know how to make sorbet at home, you gone learn today! Let's get into this delicious no-churn fruit sorbet recipe.
Sorbet is essentially fruit and sugar, generally very easy to make, and wine is sometimes added for texture. In this honey Riesling pear sorbet, fresh pears, Black Girl Magic Riesling, honey, and lemon get very cozy on the stove top then are blended together until smooth, and frozen to perfection. The result is a silky smooth sorbet with a beautiful mouth feel and bright fruity flavor. The pears play perfectly with the apricot, tangerine, guava, and pineapple flavor notes in the wine. It's a fool-proof recipe that will get your wheels turning about even more delicious combinations. You can actually combine just about any fruit with wine to make sorbet at home. Don't believe me? Peep this boozy red wine sorbet I made with strawberries for reference. Depending on the kind of fruit, you might need to soften it first, which is the case with this honey pear Riesling sorbet.
Tools You'll Need for Honey Riesling Pear Sorbet
As I mentioned, this is a no-churn sorbet recipe. So you don't need an ice cream maker. What you will need are a saucepan, blender or food processor, and a freezer-safe container. I typically store my honey Riesling pear sorbet in this container. The simple tools I recommend to make sorbet at home are just above the recipe card in this post, for your convenience. Only four ingredients and everyday tools you already have in your kitchen mean this fruit sorbet with wine is well within your reach, friend.
