Method
- To peel and slice the pineapple, cut both ends off and stand it up. Using a sharp knife, follow the contours of the fruit and slice down, removing the skin, turning as necessary. Cut into quarters lengthways, cut the core away and slice into long, thin strips.
- In a bowl, mix the lime zest and juice with the sugar and mint leaves, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the pineapple and toss in the sugar mixture.
- Allow the pineapple to marinate for at least 1hr at room temperature, to combine the flavours. Serve with mango ice cream or sorbet and lime wedges on the side.
