You know how sometimes they discover forgotten recordings or tv shows? Well this is like one of those. We made this sorbet almost a month ago and we only got round to eating it last week. I don't know what took us so long and it kind of just got lost in our freezer. 

The idea for making this came around because I was fed up throwing out a tin of pineapple. We sometimes make our own pizzas and we buy a tin of pineapple, we only end up using a few bits each and then we are left with a tin. We always have good intentions of eating it and it never happens. As I hate cooked fruit anything like that was out of the window so after a bit of research I came across this recipe and tweeked it a little. You could use any fruit you want. Any berries would be lovely and fresh fruit works just as well as tinned. It's also a great recipe as you don't need an ice cream maker.

Scroll down for the recipe.

You will need:

1 tin of pineapple, drained
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
200g caster sugar 

 Place pineapple and lemon juice in a food processor; process until smooth. 

Add sugar; process 1 minute or until sugar dissolves.

Freeze mixture, in a freeze proof container for 3 hours or until it is hard on the outside but slushy in the middle. 

Remove it from the freezer, beat it with a whisk until smooth, and return to the freezer, covered, for 4 hours until firm.

It may take overnight to freeze, just keep an eye on it.

Serve in glasses.

Enjoy!
