Whole Roasted Pineapple Sorbet

August 1, 2011 by Maureen 41 Comments

Last week when I was at the farmer’s market the pineapple grower and I started chatting and he asked me if I had ever roasted a whole pineapple.  I hadn’t but it gave me a great idea.  Roast a pineapple and make sorbet out of it.  It was delicious.  It’s different than pineapple sorbet made from fresh or canned pineapple.

I love cooked pineapple, especially with ham but I’ve never roasted the whole pinapple. I’ve always grilled or fried it.  I have to tell you, your entire house will smell of sweet roasted pineapple.  It was fantastic!

I loved this.  This sorbet has so much pineapple in it that it doesn’t freeze rock solid so it’s easy to eat.  Roasting the pineapple first makes it really sweet.  I added some sugar but I think next time I will taste the roasted pineapple before just plonking the sugar in.

No skills are needed to make this sorbet but it does take a bit of time and an ice cream maker.  Start by preheating the oven to 200° C or 400° F.  Cut the leaves off the top of the pineapple if your pineapple came with leaves and place it in a roasting pan.  Roast til soft for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.  My pineapple wasn’t huge so it only took 1 1/2 hours.  Then let it cool.

Once the pineapple is cool, cut the outside layer off and cut out the little brown things and then cut the pineapple in quarters and remove the core and discard.  Roughly cut the pineapple and place it in the food processor with a simple syrup made from 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water.  I only used about 1/3 cup of syrup but you might need more or less.  My sorbet was definitely sweet.

Then I added 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/4 cup of water.  I added water until I thought it looked like sorbet.  I suppose it will depend on how roasted your pineapple would be and how dry it ended up.  Whiz in the processor for a few minutes to break down all the pineapple fiber and then place in the refrigerator to chill.

Once cold, place the sorbet mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze.  You’ll love it!

When I make this again I’m going to try adding a bit more water or roasting the pineapple for a shorter length of time and make popsicles out of it.  Yum !!

    Now this is a recipe I have never heard of. I absolutely love pineapple, though I usually prefer it raw. I think I’m going to have to jump outside my box and try this. I think I may even roast it in my grill because this sorbet is definitely calling my name.

    And pineapple popsicles?? Yum1

    The roasted pineapple must be so good on it’s own…but everything is better in sorbet form!

    I love this idea and feel this is a must make. However, since I pretty much attempt to cook everything on the grill, I’ll roast mine outside with a pinch of smoke. 🙂

    Maureen! Roasting the pineapple is one thing. Making it into a sorbet is quite another and it sounds OUT OF THIS WORLD. I am buying pineapple tomorrow and making this.

    I like a good pineapple sorbet, but a ROASTED pineapple would take it to another level! You are a genius for discovering this and sharing the recipe with us :-).

    First of all, an ice cream or sorbet should never be rock solid in my book – and sorbets are even dreamier when slushy! And oh roasted pineapple is indeed stunning! Just a great treat all around!

    If you add a couple of ounces of alcohol to it it won’t freeze solid and you can skip the churning and freeze it. Vodka or rum would be good in this, but I wouldn’t feed it to children after that. lol

    Pineapples seem to be in season now, so I think I’ll try this.

    Maureen, I just love this – I often find the taste of pineapple too much on its own (overwrought, syrupy sweet) but this idea of roasting it into sorbet form is brilliant!
