Substitutes for Pear in gelato
Pear (Pyrus communis) is a mild, aromatic pome fruit that is roughly 84% water and 16% solids, of which about 10% is sugar. In gelato it delivers a delicate, floral sweetness and, thanks to its fructose-rich sugar profile plus natural sorbitol, a notably soft, scoopable texture.
