Zingy Grapefruit Asian Pear Sorbet-sugar free!
I had my friend, Chris, over for dinner last night. I find that the easiest way to see small groups of friends when eating is a main course in the play date. I made this pork recipe which was, as always, soooooo good! On the side, I sauteed some peas and proscuitto. And kinda, threw some ingredients together for this, as it turned out thankfully, really good and fresh tasting sorbet.
Zingy Grapefruit Asian Pear Sorbet
5 Grapfruits
1 Asian pear
appr. 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup Agave (or sweeten to your taste or use sweetener of your choice)
Juice 1 grapefuit in a saucepan. Add the water, cinnamon and agave. Slowly bring to a light boil while stirring. Turn off and remove from stove to cool. When it cools a little, you can put it in the fridge to cool down.
In a bowl, juice 3 more grapefruits. In the food processor, put in the Asian pear, in chunks, and the last grapefuit, in pieces. Just “grind” it until it has a texture you want. I like it a little chunky. Then pour this mixture into the bowl.
When the cooked liquid has cooled, add it to the bowl of the grapefruit juice, pieces and asian pear.
Then follow instructions on your ice cream maker. and Voila! A healthy, cold dessert, perfect for a hot summer night that’s packed with vitamins and better yet, it’s sugar free!
pork…yummy!
So, I have had to give up coconut and chicken recently so I can no longer make and eat that yummy coconut/almond crusted chicken that I wrote about. However, I still have pork, beef, and fish on the menu.
Here’s a new pork recipe that I made up that is great!
Agave and Almond crusted pork tenderloin/pork chop
Take a piece of tenderloin or some chops and rub all sides with agave. Then sprinkle some salt and rub it all in. Take some almond meal and sprinkle on all sides until it is all covered. If you want a nice addition, add some “just onions” on top for some added texture and flavor. Also fabulous, is adding some fresh rosemary.
For the tenderloin, bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 min. For the pork chops, bake at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Until cooked through.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I think honey would also work in place of agave.
