Fresh pineapple

[LLSibley 1]

I had a friend come today who just got back from Hawaii and brought me a fresh uncut pineapple. I sliced it and it's about the best thing I've eaten in a long time. I ate about 1/4 of it. How bad is that.

Fresh fruit is not bad. You might be careful though. Fresh pineapple is to fiberous for me and I get stuck because I just can't chew it enough. I usually put it in a smoothie now because I love it.

I've been taking a pineapple to my family's weekly cookouts, cutting it in slices and having them grill it.. it's wonderful and I have had no problems with it getting stuck

Yummy! I love pineapple. I have to cut the centre bit completely out though and I do tend to spit bits out because they can be tough and fibrous and I dont want to risk swallowing them.

Speedy Pineapple-Lime Sorbet

1 Ripe pineapple, cut into cubes (about 4 cups)

1/3 frozen Limeade concentrate, thawed

1-2 tablespoons Fresh Lime juice

1 teaspoon grated Lime Peel

1. Arrange pineapple in a single layer on large baking sheet; freeze at least 1 houror until very firm. Use metal spatula to transfer Pineapple to resealable plastic freezer food storage bags; Can be frozen up to 1 month

2. Combine frozen pineapple, limeade, lime juice and lime peel in a food processor; process until smooth and fluffy. If pineapple doesn't become smooth and fluffy, let stand 30 minutes to soften slightly; then repeat processing. Serve immediately.

Note: This dessert is best if served immediately; but may be made ahead, stored in the freezer, then softened several minutes before being served.

(I have the DeVinci flavored syrups - the Fat Free ones have Zero everything, calories, fat, carbs, etc... The FF coconut Syrup in this really adds a nice tropical flavor to this sorbet!)
