Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe pineapple
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks, cooled sugar syrup, and lemon juice. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth.
Pour the pineapple mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove any fibrous parts, using a spatula to push the mixture through. This step is optional but will ensure a smoother texture.
Transfer the strained mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet is thick and smooth.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture vigorously to incorporate air until it's fully frozen and creamy, about 3-4 hours.
Once churned, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade pineapple sorbet!
