Pineapple Sherbet

There is a long tradition of homemade ice cream in my family. Perhaps having roots in central Florida has something to do with it. This summer I have been experimenting with sherbet recipes and have had success with a simple pineapple sherbet as follows:

2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 (20 oz) can of pineapple ("in it's own juice")
1 (48 oz) can of pineapple juice
3 cups of sugar
1 qt milk

Pour gelatin over the lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside to dissolve.

Run the pineapple through the blender to obtain a pulp. Stir the can of juice and the sugar together. Add the pineapple pulp, the milk and then the lemon juice mixture. Then freeze in your ice cream maker.

The gelatin is intended to prevent formation of large ice crystals and may be extraneous since an enzyme present in pineapple dissolves gelatin. If you like zip in your sherbet add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice.
