How to cut a pineapple

The hardest part about working with a fresh pineapple? How to cut it! It’s notoriously difficult to argue about this great fruit. Here is a brief introduction on how to smell it and cut it into pieces quickly:

• Cut top and bottom: Using a large chef’s knife, cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple.
• remove skin: Remove the skin from the pineapple by slicing it and following the shape of the pineapple.
• Cut into quarters and heart: Halve the pineapple lengthways. Lay each pineapple half flat on the cut side and cut in half again lengthways. Remove the core by cutting diagonally.

Ice machine tips

The main tool you will need for sherbet is a ice machine. It’s a great investment and you can use it to make sorbets and ice cream all year round. Here it is 2 liter ice machine We use: We’ve had ours for years and it’s held up well. We strongly recommend getting one: the storage space is worth it.

Prepare and save for pineapple sorbet

Pineapple sorbet tastes best the day it’s made: so stir it just before serving, if possible! You can also freeze it for a few hours to give it a firmer texture, but freezing it overnight makes it very firm. Here are some tips for working with leftovers:

• Make the puree up to 2 days in advance. You can store in the fridge until ready to stir.
• Line a storage container with parchment paper. This prevents the sorbet from freezing to the edges of the container and makes it easier to defrost.
• Stir the sorbet up to 2 hours before serving. The texture at this stage is firm and easy to roll into balls.
• Leftovers keep for 1 week, but thaw at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Take the time to leave the container on the counter until it has thawed. Don’t expect it to be like store-bought sorbet that stays sweeter in the freezer.
