Recipe - Pineapple Sorbet

1 cup Sugar
1 One fourth cup Water
1 Very ripe pineapple; cored,
peeled and eyes removed
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Vodka (optional)

In medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Stir well, and bring to boil.
Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Uncover, remove from heat and set aside. Cut
pineapple into 1inch chunks. Measure about 2 cups. In food processor
fitted with steel blade, puree 2 cups pineapple chunks until smooth, about
45 seconds. With machine running, pour in half of hot syrup within 15
seconds. Process 30 seconds. Transfer puree to mixing bowl. Repeat,
processing remaining pineapple with remaining sugar syrup. Combine all of
puree. Stir in lemon juice and vodka. Transfer pineapple mixture to 2
shallow baking pans, dividing evenly. Cover with plastic and freeze until
half frozen. Process each batch of partially frozen sorbet mixture in food
processor 1 minute, stopping once to scrape down mixture. Return to pans,
cover and freeze until Three fourths firm. Process each batch once again 1 minute.
Return to freezer until Three fourths firm, then process another 2 minutes. Pack into
airtight container and freeze until firm enough to scoop or spoon, 4 to 6
hours.
