Steps:
- Combine sugar with 1 3/4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Stir well, and cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the syrup to a metal mixing bowl, and set bowl over an ice bath, or place in the refrigerator to chill, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and core 3 pears. Chop into 1/4-inch dice and toss with 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Add cranberries. Cover and cook over medium heat until the juices are released, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, covered, until pears are very soft, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor and process until smooth. (At this stage, the puree may be passed through a fine strainer to get a smoother texture.) Transfer puree to metal bowl; let chill over an ice bath or in refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
- Combine chilled puree with syrup and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Transfer the mixture to an ice-cream machine and freeze, following the manufacturer's instructions. If a machine is not available, place the mixture in an 11 by 6 by 2 3/4-inch plastic container (this size container works best) in the freezer for 1 hour. After 1 hour, stir with a fork. Continue to freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until the sorbet has set and is completely frozen, about 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the serving shells. Cut the top inch from the 6 remaining pears, and reserve the tops. Using a melon baller, scoop out as much flesh from the pears as possible, leaving the skin intact. Brush the insides of the pears with the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Place the pears and their tops in a large plastic container, and cover; transfer to the freezer for at least 2 hours. The shells may be prepared 2 to 3 days ahead. To serve, fill frozen shells with sorbet, and garnish with the pear tops. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place fruit and water in a food processor, and process until very smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a deep bowl or a large glass measuring cup, pressing on solids with a flexible spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Don't press too hard, or some of the seeds (if there are any) may be forced through the strainer into the liquid. Discard any solids that remain in the strainer.
- Transfer strained puree to a deep bowl or plastic storage container. Add simple syrup (start with 1/2 cup syrup, then add more as needed) and stir until it is well combined. (To determine whether you need more syrup, gently drop a just-cleaned and dried egg into puree and push to submerge completely; when the sugar content is right, a piece of egg about the size of a quarter should be exposed. If the egg doesn't float to the top, add more syrup; if too much egg is exposed, add more fruit puree.) Cover bowl or container, and refrigerate until completely chilled before using, at least 1 hour (or overnight).
- Pour mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sorbet to a large airtight container; freeze at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving.

MELON SORBET
I've learned a lot about making sorbets from Jacquy Pfeiffer, the founder and dean of student affairs at the French Pastry School in Chicago. He taught me to use a small amount of corn syrup - about 5 percent of the weight of the fruit - to prevent the sorbet from developing ice crystals. A very small amount of honey will also work. I asked him what the least sugar I could get away with is, and he said it depends on the fruit, but as a general rule he uses 15 to 20 percent sugar. I decided to factor the corn syrup and honey into that weight, and my sorbets were beautiful, with great texture. You can use yellow or green melon for this as long as it's really ripe and sweet.
