--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      large         pears -- fresh and ripe
   1      pinch         ground cinnamon
                        sugar or sweetener -- to taste, optl
     1/3  cup           2% low-fat milk -- (1/3 to 1/2c)

Intro: You don't need an ice cream machine to make this dessert; it's made
with fresh-frozen diced ripe pears in a food processor or an electric
blender. It's the best-tasting pure essence of pear "ice cream" author's
had. No sugar needed. This dessert tastes best when it's made with freshly
frozen, fully ripe pears.

1. Dice pears into 1/2-inch cubes and spread in a single layer on a foil
tray or a baking sheet. Quick-freeze, uncovered, in the coldest part of the
freezer.

2. Put the frozen pear cubes in an electric blender or a food processor
with cinnamon and optional sweetener. Adding milk a little at a time,
process quickly, just until mixture resembles soft-serve frozen custard.
