  Fresh pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

2. Simple Syrup Symphony: While the pineapple freezes, create a simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
3. Blend It Up!: In a high-powered blender, combine frozen pineapple chunks, cooled simple syrup, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Tips for a Tropical Twist on Your Pineapple Sorbet Recipe:

• Fresh is Best: For the most vibrant flavor, use fresh pineapple. However, frozen pineapple chunks can work in a pinch.
• Get Fancy with Fruits: Add a cup of other frozen fruits like mango, peaches, or berries for a tropical fruit fusion sorbet.
• Mint Magic: Muddle a few fresh mint leaves with the simple syrup for a refreshing twist.
• Boozy Option (for Adults Only): For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of rum or coconut rum to the blender along with the other ingredients.

With this easy pineapple sorbet recipe, you can create a delicious and healthy frozen treat in no time. So ditch the store-bought varieties and whip up a batch of sunshine in your own kitchen!
