This Pineapple Sorbet recipe is refreshing, tasty, and most importantly healthy!
PINEAPPLE SORBET
My friend Susanah is tall, leggy, and beautiful. You could try to hate her for that but she’s just so down to earth and nice, it’s impossible NOT to like her.
At first I didn’t know if we could be friends. I obviously do not buy all organic unless there areorganic Oreos and peanut butter M&Ms out there. And from my experience in the past, those who are organic tend to get a little pushy about their organic-ness.
Not Susanah. She approaches the organic stuff lightly and definitely doesn’tshove it down people’s throats.Her blog is informative, gives helpful tips, and throws a little humor into the whole mix.
I try to buy some organic produce here and there. Do you guys buy organic? The thing is…knowledge is power. Once you know and understand the difference, it’s hard to go back to buying the “other” stuff.
Organic foods are more expensive but it’s about making choices that work for your budget and lifestyle. I love her post about the “Dirty Dozen” and the “Clean 15”because it basically told me which foods are more important to buy organic and which ones don’t matter as much.
This Pineapple Sorbet recipe comes from her. It’s refreshing, tasty, and most importantly non-fat. Did anyone else just realize thatsummer is seriously almost here?Let’spause a moment while I freak out.
You can cube up your pineapple and save the shell to serve it in!
My pineapple was super ripe and juicy so I hardly had to add any sugar to sweeten it.

Skip the freezer aisle and make your own pineapple sorbet. It's refreshing, tasty, and most importantly non-fat.

Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Cook Time: 22 hours hrs 15 minutes mins
Freeze: 4 hours hrs
Total Time: 4 hours hrs 10 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 Organic Pineapple, (about 2 cups)
- 4 to 8 Tablespoons of Sugar, (the more ripe your pineapple is, the less sugar you will need)
- 1/2 Cup of Water
- small squeeze of fresh lemon slice, (optional)
Instructions
Cut up 1/2 fresh Organic Pineapple into cubes (see Note) and place in a quality food processor or blender. Add the sugar, lemon juice, water and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a covered freezer safe container and freeze for at least 1-2 hours.
Remove the mixture from the freezer. At this point if you have an ice cream maker begin using it now and follow manufacturers instructions.
Don't worry, if you don't have an ice cream maker then pour the Pineapple Sorbet back into blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Once that is done, spoon the sorbet into the final container you wish to freeze it in. Put back into freezer for 5 hours.
Notes
Note: To jazz it up a bit, save the "shells" of the pineapple by cutting the pineapple in half lengthwise, then cut cubes like you would an avocado. Use a grapefruit spoon and scoop out the pineapple. Freeze the shells and use them as the final container to freeze the sorbet in.

Nice. You could also add strawberries for a more tropical taste(any other tropical fruit would work too. Blackberries, raspberries, lime, orange, watermelon, ect.) Think I will have this sorbet for breakfast lunch and do ne’er as well as dessert.

Ack! The “dirty dozen” nonsense is based on terrible research taken out of context. My family is full of farmers. I guarantee you that fewer pesticides are used when you’re not just limited to organic ones. And crop yields are awful because even applying the organic pesticides over and over again, they just don’t work as well. Why the lies spread about farming have been so effective, I’ll never know.
And then of course you get into the population growth stuff… organic is taking land that could be used to feed thousands and using it to feed hundreds. I never buy it; I can’t support that.

It looks delicious! I think this concoction would also work well with coconut cream and a couple of cherries and cashew nuts on top and with the side lips of the pineapple caramelized with a torch. Thanks for the recipe.

I added coconut rum and cooked it for a bit to let the alcohol evaporate. It’s still chilling, but the little taste I took is promising.

You mention “organic Oreos.” Have you tried Newman-O’s? Awesome in Regular or Hint ‘O Mint. Don’t mean to advertise to you, but… those are a necessity!
So glad I stumbled across your blog. I’ve made that Zuppa Toscana recipe before and love it!

@Anon,
Yes, you can save it in the freezer and eat it anytime you want or blend it up again for a slushier texture. -

I must try this one. I do ice cream once a week so this is going on the list to make. Okay who am I kidding, I make it more than once a week.

@Chris,
I’ve used Stevia but not turbinado. I’ve had turbinado in smoothies before but I didn’t make them. I think it would be great in a sorbet. -
Chris — Reply
Speaking of organic, have you ever tried using turbinado sugar in any of your recipes? It adds this delicious, almost brown sugary taste to desserts. I’m wondering how well it might work in a fruity sorbet.

That looks great! I came across similar things at a yum cha restaurant with lemon, orange and coconut sorbets, all served in their respective skins. I think they may have contained whipped egg white, though…

@Jennifer,
I haven’t tried it with other fruit but I’m sure it would work! -

I just got a fancy ice cream maker for Mother’s day (they type you freeze the bowl and don’t need any ice and salt!) and I’m in love! I’ve made ice cream 3 times in the last 4 days, so I could use something like this so I’m not eating so much lovely ice cream 🙂 Thanks!

Such a festive way to serve the sorbet! I love the idea of using hollowed out fruit! Have you tried this with any other fruit before?

Lydia — Reply
YUM! I think I’m having a craving now… I’m pregnant lol. I recently did a project for school about organic food and when it comes to nutrition and safety there really isn’t a significant difference between organic and conventional foods. I didn’t study other factors like taste, but because I can’t afford it I don’t feel guilty not eating organic all the time.

Melanie — Reply
I wish I was tall, leggy and beautiful like your friend, but since I’m not, I’ll settle for splurging on an organic pineapple and making this sorbet because a) sorbet is one of my favorite things on the planet and b) the presentation of this is so lovely, I can’t resist.
