Discard apple and pear skins and stir in apple juice and another 1/2 cup water. Place mixture in a food processor and pulse 3-4 times until any big chunks are smooth.
• If making without an ice cream machine, pour into a shallow container and freeze 6 hours, scraping with a fork once or twice to break up crystals. If using a machine, churn until firm enough to scoop.

• Place the water with the sugar and the lemon juice in a heavy saucepan. Peel, core and halve the pears. Place in water and poach for 20 or 30 minutes or until soft.

• Continue cooking the liquid until syrupy and reduced by half, about 15 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
• Puree the pears and the pear syrup in a blender until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl. Chill in the freezer until partially frozen, about 1 hour.
