pineapple sorbet


i have been enjoying lots of pineapples and they have been tasting SO good! like the taste of sunshine. i like to make jokes about the fruit curing me of wintertime induced scurvy. that is silly. but you guys know what i am talking about: mouth transportation from winter and cold and blah straight to sun and warm and tan.

this one was super easy. i cut off the skin and cut out the core and pureed the fruit. i strained the puree and got about 3 cups of juice. i added about 2 cups of simple syrup and maybe a large shot (2 oz.) of vodka for that smooth texture.

it is so wonderful. and in a way, delicate: when i pureed the pineapple, there was the juice and then this light, floating sort of foam that formed on the top. when churned, it made for such a wonderful, airy texture and color.
