Pineapple Granita

Pass the chunks of pineapple through a juicer to make fresh pineapple juice or substitute store-bought pineapple juice.

Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring a few times to help dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Whisk the pineapple juice into the sugar syrup and transfer to a shallow 13 x 9" metal pan.

Place the mixture in the freezer, mixing with a fork every 30 minutes until frozen, about 2-3 hours.
