I think we can all agree, there’s just nothing like Mom’s home cookin’. It just tastes better, doesn’t it? For that reason I’ve asked my Mom to submit some of her favorite recipes for me to share with y’all each Monday. Let’s get cooking in the kitchen with Mom!
Oh my gosh you guys! It is HOT out there! The high for today here in Sacramento is 106 degrees – ouch! So obviously today’s recipe will have nothing to do with an oven or microwave, because who wants more heat when its hot, right? So today we went with something cool, creamy, fruity and ohmygod my new favorite frozen dessert. Forget the free Popsicles we’ve been getting and go buy yourself some pineapples for this super simple homemade Pineapple Sorbet. It is DELICIOUS!

Looking for a fresh and fruity way to cool off this summer? Try our homemade Pineapple Sorbet - it's super easy to make and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (make sure you omit any of the hard core and make sure it’s ripe to give the best taste possible)
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (make sure it’s strained of any small seeds)
Instructions
- Puree the pineapple chunks in a food processor or blender with the sugar and water until the mixture is nice and smooth.
- Next, pour in the whipping cream and lemon juice and run the food processor or blender for just a few seconds to mix thoroughly.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour. (*Sometimes I do this step the night before and leave it in the refrigerator overnight for convenience sake.)
- Pour the refrigerated pineapple mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to your machine's instructions. I usually only process this mixture for 25 – 30 minutes.
- Mound the pineapple sorbet into a freezer safe dish, cover and freeze for at least 2 hours or until desired consistency is reached.
- Enjoy!
