Method

  1. 1

    Syrup. Bring the sugar and water to the boil, take off the heat, scrape in the vanilla seeds, add the pod and cover. Leave until cool, then lift out the pod.

  2. 2

    Prepare the pineapple. Cut off the top, base and skin, dig out the brown eyes, quarter it lengthways and cut away the woody core. Chop the flesh; you need about 800 g.

  3. 3

    Blend. Blend the pineapple with the vanilla syrup, lime juice and corn syrup until completely smooth, then sieve out any fibres.

  4. 4

    Chill. Cover and chill for at least 3 h.

  5. 5

    Churn and freeze. Churn for 20-25 min, then freeze for at least 2 h. Serve in scoops with a few fresh pineapple pieces.

Storage

Keep covered in the freezer for up to 1 week; sorbet turns icy after that. Soften for 10 min before scooping.
