Okay, it is time to have dessert. After all those rich crab recipes I
thought I'd treat you to a very light yet refreshing dessert that is a
little tropical.
Crushed pineapple ice
20-ounce can crushed pineapple or 2-1/2 cups of fresh crushed pineapple 1/2
cup sugar
2 cups buttermilk or one 16-ounce carton plain fat-free yogurt 1/2 teaspoon
vanilla
In a blender container or food-processor bowl, place the pineapple. Cover
and blend or process until pureed. Transfer the pureed pineapple to a mixing
bowl; stir in sugar. Let the mixture stand about 10 minutes or until sugar
dissolves, stirring occasionally. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla
Transfer pineapple mixture to a 1-1/2-quart freezer container. Cover; freeze
overnight or until firm. Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes
before serving. Scoop into small dessert bowls.
