2 c.                  Skim milk

¾ c.                 Sugar

4 c.                  Pineapple, fresh, chopped

4 each             Egg yolks

PREPARTAION:

• Plan ahead and freeze ice cream bowl.


• Place chopped pineapple in a food processor, process until smooth.


• In medium sauce pot, mix milk, pineapple puree, and half the amount of sugar (1/3 cup).

• In a separate bowl mix the egg yolks with the remaining sugar. Then add to the pot and whisk constantly until well mixed and cream has thickened.  Do not let boil.
