HELLO SUNSHINE!

Brightly coloured, juicy, and full

of flavour, there’s something about

the pineapple that brings the sun in.

This granita recipe makes enough

for eight–a great way to add some

freshness to your party.

Ginger-lime

Pineapple Granita

Ingredients

½ cup freshly-grated ginger,

or to taste

½ cup sugar

½ cup water

3 cups chopped pineapple

1 lime, juiced

8 pineapple wedges,

to garnish

Rock salt, to garnish

Method

Place the ginger, sugar, and water

in a small pan over a medium-high

flame. Cook, stirring continuously,

for about five minutes until the sugar

dissolves. Cool and strain, discarding

the ginger. Place the pineapple,

lime juice, and ginger syrup in a food

processor, and blend until smooth.

Pour out into a lipped baking dish

and spread out into an even layer.

Freeze for four hours, until firm.

After four hours, rake with a fork,

cover with cling film, and freeze

again for at least an hour.

Serve with pineapple wedges,

topped with salt.
