INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the sorbet:  Combine the sugar and water ina large saucepan
and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Meanwhile, combine the orange
and lime juices. Puree the pineapple in a food processor fitted with  a
steel blade or blender along with the mint leaves. Use some of the
orange juice to moisten. Combine with the orange-lime juice. Stir the
pineapple mixture into the cooled syrup.  Either freeze in an ice
cream freezer or freeze in a covered bowl.  When frozen solid, remove
from the bowl and spoon into a food processor fitted with the steel
blade. Process until fluffy; this breaks up the ice crystals and
results in a smoother texture. To ensure this very smooth texture,
repeat the process one more time after a couple of hours (this step  is
optional). Spoon into individual serving dishes, cover with  plastic
and then foil, and freeze. Or oil a loaf pan or mold and line  with
plastic wrap. Pour in the sorbet mixture, cover tightly with  plastic
wrap and then foil, and freeze. Work quickly so that the  sorbet
doesn't melt, or ice crystals will form again when it freezes.  To make
the garnish and serve:  Toss together the chopped pineapple  and the
Cointreau if you using it.  Add the mint leaves. Set aside or
refrigerate until ready to serve. Twenty minutes before serving,  place
the sorbet in the refrigerator to soften. If you froze it in  the loaf
pan, unmold on a platter.  Cut slices using sharp knife. IF  you froze
it in individual molds, unmold into bowls. Serve, topping  each serving
with the garnish. Advance preparation:  This sorbet will  hold for
weeks, covered tightly, in the freezer.  The garnish can be  made
several hours ahead of serving time and held in a covered bowl  in the
refrigerator. Calories: 86. Fat: .40 g. Sodium 1 mg. Protein 1  g.
