PINEAPPLE SORBET

PINEAPPLE SORBET

Pineapple sorbet is a light refreshment for a hot summer day. If you have an ice cream maker, follow the instructions for preparation. If you don’t, see the TIP at the bottom of this page.

Ingredients:

• 1 pineapple peeled
• 1,5 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup pure fructose
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 
• 2-3 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped
• Mint springs for decoration if desired

Directions:

• Chop pineapple and lemon juice in a chopper or food processor
• Add fructose and process for 20-30 more seconds
• Remove, add water and chopped mint
• Mix all together and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
• Turn on your ice cream maker, and pour the mixture into a previously frozen freezer bowl.
• Let mix for 15-20 minutes

The texture of a sorbet should be similar to the texture of mashed potatoes (which we don’t eat 😉

• Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container, and freeze for several hours or overnight.
• Garnish with mint leaves and berries of your choice before serving.

TIP: If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can transfer the mixture to a pyrex baking pan. Cover it tight, and freeze until firm (about 2 to 3 hours). Stir it with a fork every half hour.
