Ingredients used:
For 8 people
- 0.5 cup - Sugar
- 0.5 cup - Orange juice
- 4 pounds - Ripe pineapple
- 1 cup - Buttermilk
Recipe steps:
- In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir the sugar and orange juice until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool.
- Halve the pineapple lengthwise, including the crown. With a small sharp knife, cut around the pulp leaving about 1/2-inch thick shell. With a spoon, scrape out any remaining loose pieces and juice. Cover and refrigerate the pineapple shells.
- Cut out and discard any hard core from the pulp. Cut the pulp into cubes. Drain the cubes well. Measure 2 cups of fruit and 1/2-cup of pineapple juice. In a food processor or blender, puree the pineapple with the juice. Alternatively, chop the pineapple very fine and mix with the juice.
- Add the orange/sugar syrup and buttermilk to the pineapple. Whirl or stir until well-blended. Pour into an 8-inch square metal pan; cover and freeze about 3 hours until semi-frozen.
- Take from freezer and stir until smooth; refreeze several hours or until firm enough to spoon or scoop into the reserved pineapple shells. Cover and freeze until firm. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
