Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Pineapples

Cut the top off each pineapple and hollow out the insides, being careful not to break the shell. Set aside the pineapple flesh.

2. Make the Sorbetto

In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Blend Ingredients

In a blender, combine the reserved pineapple flesh, lemon juice, pineapple juice, and the cooled sugar syrup. Blend until smooth.

4. Freeze the Mixture

Pour the pineapple mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency (about 3-4 hours).

5. Serve in Pineapple Shells

Once the sorbetto is ready, scoop it into the hollowed-out pineapple shells. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
