Ingredients

2 cups (260 grams) frozen diced pineapple (see below for subs)
¼ cup water or unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup (you can sub with sugar or honey)
½ lime or lemon juice

Instructions

Place the frozen pineapple chunks in a food processor, and pulse until coarsley chopped. Add maple syrup (sugar or honey) and water. If using canned pineapple and juice, you might start with 1 tablespoon of sweetener instead of 2.
Blend for a couple minutes until smooth, but not liquified. Taste and make sure you are happy with the flavor and sweetness. If using fresh pineapple and it turns out to be not as sweet as you expected, add a bit more sugar or maple syrup until you love the taste and sweetness.
If you like a soft sorbet, serve immediately, but If you like a firmer sorbet, chill the pineapple mixture in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Enjoy!

Notes

Fresh, frozen, or canned pineapple?
I recommend using frozen pineapple chunks to make the sorbet in minutes. If using fresh pineapple, cut half a medium-sized fruit into 1-inch chunks and freeze it for at least 6 hours or overnight. If using a can of pineapple, drain, dice, and freeze the pineapple as well. However, if using canned, start with one tablespoon of sugar/maple syrup rather than two, as canned options are slightly sweeter than fresh.
