Pear Spheres

The pear spheres are an elegant example of how the spherification technique can transform an everyday ingredient into a surprising sensory experience. In this recipe, we have applied the direct spherification method, a technique that allows you to encapsulate a liquid—in this case, pear juice or purée—in a thin membrane that bursts in your mouth, releasing all its flavor in an intense and delicate way.

To achieve this texture, the pear liquid is carefully immersed in a water bath with sodium chloride, where the interaction of the compounds forms a perfect, smooth, and shiny sphere. The result is visually appealing and surprising to the palate, ideal for savory dishes, creative tapas, or fresh salads where a contrast of flavors and textures is desired.

It is important to keep in mind that, due to their fragility, these spheres should be made just before serving. They are not suitable for freezing or for preserving for many hours, as the membrane loses definition over time. However, their impact on the dish more than makes up for their delicacy: a modern technique at the service of creativity.
