🥘 Ingredients

6 items

• 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
• 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop and soften, about 7-10 minutes.

2. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the cranberry mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes.

3. In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked cranberry mixture, pineapple chunks, lemon juice, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.

4. Optional: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or cranberry skins for a smoother texture.

5. Transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.

6. Place the container in the freezer for 2-3 hours, stirring with a fork every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and create a smooth sorbet texture.

7. Once fully frozen, scoop and serve the Cranberry Pineapple Sorbet into bowls or cones for a vibrant and refreshing treat.
