Pineapple sorbet~ Secret recipe Club challenge May 19th 2014

This is my assignment with the Secret Recipe Club.The aim of the club is that you are allocated a blog from which you have to select a recipe and try it and blog about it. My assigned blog was Manu's menu. Manuela lives in Sydney, Australia and she has a wonderful blog with a varied cuisine. I was particularly impressed that she had so many Indian recipes on her blog. I found out this is influenced by her hubby who is Indian. While looking through her blog I decided to pick the pineapple sorbet recipe as it looked refreshing and perfect for a light dessert. I followed the recipe as per her instruction but had to use tinned pineapple in juice instead of fresh pineapple.I added some lemon juice to balance the sweetness. 

Taste the tropics in every mouthful with this refreshing pineapple sorbet.

Ingredients

432 g tinned pineapple chunks in juice
6 tablespoons sugar
Juice and zest of one small lemon

Method:

1. Using a zester, zest the lemon and keep it aside.
2. Cut the lemon in half and extract the juice.
3.Open the tinned pineapple and reserve a few chunks for garnish.Put the remaining pineapple chunks and juice into a blender jug together with the  the lemon juice and sugar.
4. Blend the pineapple pieces to form a smooth purée in the Optimum 9400 blender or any other you may have.

I used my tried and trusted  Optimum 9400 Blender to blend my soup. The blender is so versatile and powerful that it grinds, pulses, makes ice cream, soups and amazing smoothies and nut butters too. It is easy to clean and maintain too.
