Pineapple And Meyer Lemon Sorbet Food

NO-CHURN PINEAPPLE-BANANA SORBET

Steps:

• Line a medium plate with parchment. Place the banana slices on the prepared plate in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. Freeze the bananas until hard and completely frozen, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Add the frozen bananas, pineapple and orange juice concentrate to a food processor and process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until scoopable, about 1 hour. The sorbet will keep for up to 2 months.

TART MEYER LEMON SORBET

• Scrape sorbet into a chilled loaf pan and freeze.

MEYER LEMON SORBET

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the water, sugar, and lemon zest to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Stir in the lemon juice and Champagne, other sparkling wine, or vodka. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• This sorbet will freeze quite hard because it contains an especially large amount of water, so it's best eaten shortly after it's frozen. Or, remove it from the freezer ahead of serving so that it's soft enough to scoop. You can omit the alcohol, but the sorbet will freeze up even harder.

PINEAPPLE SORBET

Steps:

• Peel, core and dice pineapple. In a food processor combine pineapple with 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice and process until smooth. (This may need to be done in batches.) Add more sugar if necessary. Transfer mixture to ice cube trays or metal shallow baking pan, cover with plastic and freeze until almost frozen. In processor add frozen pineapple and process, in batches, until smooth. Transfer to plastic container and freeze, covered, until solid.

Steps:

• Combine water and sugar in small sauce pan. Cook til sugar dissolves and boil one minute without stirring. Remove from heat. Add lemon juice and zest. Cool completely in refrigerator.
• When cool, freeze according to your ice cream maker's specifications. Usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Mixture will not be solid, but turn out into a freezer-safe container, lay plastic wrap on top and seal tightly. Freeze til solid. Enjoy with a drizzle of limoncello over it!

PINEAPPLE SORBET WITH FRESH MANGO

Steps:

• Put the pineapple into a blender or food processor and blitz to a purée. To make the stock syrup, put all the ingredients in a large pot with 500ml water, slowly bring to the boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat.
• Tip the pineapple purée and the lime juice into the syrup and stir well. Leave to cool, then strain and churn in an ice-cream maker following manufacturer's instructions. Place in a container and freeze. Alternatively, tip the syrup into a large tray and freeze until it starts to set, then every hour or so break up the ice with a fork. Serve the sorbet scooped into dessert glasses with a few slices of mango.
