This pineapple sorbet is made with just one ingredient – fresh pineapple! Yes, can you believe it? No added sugar, no additional fruits, just the bright fresh taste of the ripest pineapple you could ever imagine.

Here’s how it came to be.

I always look forward to my monthly box of fresh fruits from Harry & David. I’ve subscribed to their monthly service for some time now and always love that they send fruit at it’s peak. Well, this month’s delivery was fresh pineapple and as soon as I opened the box I was met with the heady aroma of the pineapple. I thought of dozens of ways to use it, but then decided on this simple sorbet recipe.

To make it, I decided to broil the pineapple for just a few minutes to help the pineapple release even more of it’s sweetness and flavor. I peeled the pineapple and then cut it into large chunks for even broiling. Once it was broiled, I transferred the pineapple into my blender, poured in the juices that had released during broiling, and then pureed the pineapple until smooth.

So that I didn’t have to add any ice to my pineapple sorbet for fear of it diluting the delicious pineapple flavor, I then poured the pineapple puree into my ice cream maker. One flip of the switch and a few minutes later, I had this amazing, delicious and perfect pineapple sorbet.

I do believe it will be happening in my house all summer long!

Ingredients 

  • 1 medium 1 1/2 pound ripe pineapple, peeled and cubed (about 3 cups)

Instructions 

  • Arrange the oven rack to the next to the highest space in oven. Turn on the broiler.
  • Arrange the pineapple chunks onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place into the oven and broil until the juices begin to release from the pineapple and the pineapple begins to turn golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and pour into a blender container. Turn the blender onto low speed until the pineapple begins puree, then increase the speed to medium or medium-high speed until the pineapple is pureed and smooth.

    I’ve been doing something like this with bananas. Can’t wait to try this one, and perhaps mixing the two!

    1. Hi Diane,
      I sure hope you enjoy it! In the instructions, I give the alternate for making without an ice cream maker. Happy Sorbeting!!! xo

    1. While the ice cream maker certainly speeds up the process, in step 4 of the instructions, I list the alternate of making without one. So, so, so delicious! xo

    1. Hi Marcia,
      I list how to make it without an ice cream maker in number four of the instructions. Let me know if you have any questions on it! xo
