FOR PINEAPPLE SORBET:
- Trim the pineapple top and bottom. Cut away the prickly skin, slice the pineapple into quarters, vertically. Cut away the core and discard.
- Cut the pineapple flesh into chunks and transfer them to a heavy duty blender or food processor (like a VitaMix).
- Add the simple syrup and lime juice. Puree or blend until smooth.
- Refrigerate the pineapple mixture until well chilled (about 2 hours).
- Churn according to your ice cream maker's instructions. I used a Cuisinart ice cream maker and it took about 20-25 minutes.
CHILLING THE SORBET:
- Sorbet will be soft, but ready to eat. For firmer sorbet, transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze until firm, at least two hours.
Notes
- Keep the pineapple sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
