Just bought an ice cream maker and thought would give this a try. I used fresh pineapple and frozen cranberries. Did not have any Grand Marnier on hand. This came out very tart and could not taste the pineapple whatsoever. Expected to taste more that just the cranberries but they overpowered everything else.

Very good sorbet. I love the cranberry and pineapple together. I used frozen cranberries and fresh pineapple. I did make the sorbet in a ice cream maker took 25 minutes. I also added the grand marnier. It balanced the flavor of the fruit without over powering it. I also used berry sugar. I will be making this again as we love sorbets!

This is perfect and a creative idea for a cocktail party. I read the recipe, but did not realise how fancy-smancy it would look when it was completed! I originally thought this would be great for kids, but, since they aren't around now - I added the orange liquor (grand marnier) and wow! Fantastic! I'll will be making this again, although, I think I will wait for a warmer day. Thanks for sharing this recipe Mike! **** MADE AND REVIEWED FOR ZAARTAG****
