Steps:
- Tip the sugar and 125ml/4fl oz water into a saucepan. Scrape in the vanilla seeds and put in the pod as well, then heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil for 6-8 minutes to make a sugar syrup. Leave to cool and remove the vanilla pod.
- Halve the melons, scoop out and discard the seeds, then scoop the flesh onto a board and chop to a slush with a sharp knife (or you can do this in a food processor). Mix the sugar syrup and melon slush together with the lemon juice in a large shallow baking dish. Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour until crystals form around the edges. With a fork, stir the edges into the centre and mash well, then return to the freezer until crystals form again. Stir and refreeze as often as you can (say every half an hour or so) until the granita is frozen all over - this should take about 3 hours. Fork it up roughly when you serve it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in upper third. Using a chef's knife, slice off top and bottom ends of pineapple. Following the fruit's natural shape and working from top to bottom, slice off skin in strips; cut away any "eyes." Quarter lengthwise; remove tough core. Cut each quarter into 4 pieces lengthwise.
- Place butter in an 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish, and melt in oven, 6 minutes.
- Arrange pineapple in the dish. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, honey, pie spice, and rum.
- Spoon sugar mixture over pineapple. Bake until tender and bubbly, about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature with sorbet, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: Look for pineapples with a golden-yellow color and a sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples with green or brown spots.
- Prepare the pineapple: Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and remove the core. Slice the pineapple into 1-inch thick slices.
- Make the green tea and melon granita: Brew the green tea according to the package directions. Let the tea cool completely, then stir in the honey and lime juice. Pour the tea mixture into a shallow baking dish and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Roast the pineapple: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the pineapple slices with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the pineapple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
- Serve the roasted pineapple with the green tea and melon granita: Place a scoop of granita on top of each roasted pineapple slice and serve immediately.
