VANILLA ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH BUTTERMILK SHERBET
Steps:
- Make the pineapple the day before you plan to serve the dessert.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a deep heavy ovenproof pot, large enough to hold the pineapple on its side. Add the brown sugar and vanilla bean. Cook, stirring, to melt and caramelize the sugar, 3 to 5 minutes. Lay the pineapple in the pot and let simmer, turning on all sides to brown. Add the water to the pan, cover and put pan into the oven. Baste occasionally, until roasted through to the core, about 1 hour.
- If needed, add more water a tablespoon at a time. Let the pineapple cool in the pan. Then, lift out the pineapple, wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the pan juices.
- Make the sherbet: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the buttermilk and lime juice. Refrigerate until cold, then freeze in an ice cream machine.
- When ready to serve, assemble the dessert: Thinly slice the pineapple (I use a meat slicer). If desired, re-warm the pan juices. Arrange slices overlapping on dessert plates. Place a scoop of sherbet in the center of the pineapple slices and drizzle the pan juices on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring water, sugar, and anise seeds to a boil in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in Pernod (if using). Cool syrup to room temperature, about 1 hour, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- While syrup cools, cut enough pineapple into 1-inch chunks to measure 5 1/4 cups (reserve remainder for another use), then purée pineapple in 3 batches in a blender at high speed until very smooth, about 1 minute per batch. Stir purée and lemon juice into cooled syrup until combined well, then chill, covered, until very cold, about 4 hours.
- Freeze in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 1 hour.
Tips:
- Select ripe and juicy pineapples: The quality of your pineapple will greatly impact the flavor of the sherbet. Choose pineapples that are heavy for their size, have a sweet aroma, and have a golden yellow color.
- Use a good quality meringue powder: Meringue powder is what gives the sherbet its light and fluffy texture. Make sure to use a good quality powder that is free of additives and preservatives.
- Chill the pineapple mixture thoroughly before churning: This will help the sherbet to set properly and prevent it from becoming icy.
- Churn the sherbet in a frozen ice cream maker: This is the best way to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Serve the sherbet immediately or store it in the freezer for later: Pineapple sherbet is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Pineapple meringue sherbet is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this pineapple meringue sherbet a try!
