why is there so little pear ice cream in this world?

[eub]

I'm presently doing my little bit for pear ice cream. After that I'll concern myself with bay ice cream, and I wonder about tomatillo sorbet.

Seville oranges, what do they want to be? Will they curdle cream? Make a mordant sorbet? Hm. Use just the candied peels, pureed? And maybe cold-steep zest in cream?

Other Uses
Soap substitute:
Throughout the Pacific Island, the crushed fruit and the macerated leaves, both of which make lather in water, are used as soap for washing clothes and shampooing the hair. Safford described the common scene in Guam of women standing in a river with wooden trays on which they rub clothing with sour orange pulp, then scrub it with a corncob. He wrote: "Often the entire surface of the river where the current is sluggish is covered with decaying oranges." On the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, the fruits are used for scouring floors and brass.
