Delicious and refreshing. It was a little sweet for me so I would put in a bit less sugar next time.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Every bite is heaven....its so refreshing, so orangy....soooo delicious. I recommend using a mesh strainer to strained the fruit puree before mixing it with the other ingredients. It freezes quicker with an ice cream maker but tastes just as good. THANK U 4 THE RECIPE!!!!

Easy-tropical-breezy! The canned pineapple is a real time-saver and a great base, and in my case sweet enough to cut the sugar in half next time. Used half the orange juice, no zest, and lime instead of lemon. Thanks a lot for the idea.

Instead of plain orange juice, I used the real orange juice with mango. I used Splenda for the sugar and also canned pineapple sweetened with Splenda and the sorbet was very good. But even better was the smoothie I made with the leftovers. I placed the frozen sorbet in my Ninja pitcher and added Lala brand Mango yogurt. Blended until thick and so delicious. So delicious and refreshing in the plu 100 degree Texas weather. I don't know if I will ever eat this as plain sorbet ever again.

Excellent sorbet! I had about 1/4th of a cup of Pina Colada mix languishing in the back of the refrigerator, so I added that at the last moment... Pina Colada Sorbet!

HINT: Reading other reviews, I must say that if you do not use an ice cream maker, you will get an icy texture, like a granita, instead of a sorbet. That said, I did use an ice cream maker to do this. I drink orange pineapple juice, and didn't have any regular orange juice on hand, so I just went ahead with that. The result is absolutely delicious!

A very easy recipe and very healthy too. My husband loves sorbet and he will be amazed by this home made sorbet. It tastes just like what we had in a fancy restaurant. I used fresh pineapple and mandarin orange, no water. The real pineapple juice is better than water. Orange gives my sorbet nice color but not "too orange" which was good. I will use this recipe to make other kind of sorbet.

I LOVE this recipe! Very easy and can be made a couple days before needed. I didn't have any orange zest and didn't miss it. My guests were very impressed.

I have made this recipe on 4 occasions and each time it has been wonderful. Once I didn't have lemon so I could not add the recommended lemon juice but it didn't change the taste at all, so if you are also out of lemen - do not fear! One thing I have noticed is that the pineapple must really be pureed until there aren't big bits left in the blender/food processor as these float to the bottom of my ice cream maker tub and tend to freeze and cause the bottom of thei ice cream to be thicker. I do use my electric ice cream freezer/maker and it turns out just right every time. For a change sometimes, I have added orange/peach/mango juice from Trader Joes instead of regular OJ and the taste is still great - This recipe is now a favourite for me when I have guests as it is very easy but appears fancy and hard to do! Perfect!!
