Pineapple Ice

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
⅔ cup water
1 fresh pineapple
⅓ cup fresh lime juice
1 large egg white

Method

Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat; stir until sugar dissolves and syrup begins to simmer. Chill. (you're supposed to take if off the heat, first). Cut pineapple in half, lengthwise, leaving crown intact. Remove fruit from both halves, leaving ½ inch of fruit inside the rind. Remove core and cut fruit into 1-inch chunks. Place pineapple halves in large plastic bags and freeze until ready to use.

In a food processor with metal blade in place, add pineapple chunks and process until pineapple is smooth and uniformly puréed. You should have about 2 cups purée. Add chilled syrup and lime juice. Process for 10 seconds. Place mixture in metal tray or bowl and partially freeze. With metal blade in place, place spoonfuls of partially thawed pineapple mixture in bowl of processor. Mix by turning processor on and off about 8 times, then process about 2 minutes until completely blended, smooth and fluffy.

With machine running, add egg white through feed tube. Process 1 minute. Refreeze. Spoon into pineapple shells and serve.
