i've been googleing for your recipe, but only found some wierd thing that included chocolate chips and marachino cherries :o

from the list of ingredients, it sure sounds a lot like pineapple sherbert (has milk) or a sorbet (no milk)! homemade wont have all the chemical ingredients ~ but a little bit of rum or vodka would keep the sherbert/sorbet from becoming hard (and more like soft serve!)

try this:

FRESH PINEAPPLE SHERBET
1/2 cup sugar
1 pineapple, cored, trimmed, reserving 6 large wedges for garnish,
puréed in a blender, and forced through a fine sieve (3 cups strained
purée)
1 1/2 cups well-chilled milk
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
fresh mint sprigs for garnish if desired

In a small saucepan combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it for 5 minutes, or until it is reduced to 1/2 cup. Let the sugar syrup cool completely. In a bowl whisk together the pineapple purée, the sugar syrup, the milk, the lemon juice, and pinch of salt. Chill the mixture until it is cold and freeze it in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve the sherbet in scoops on dessert plates garnished with the reserved pineapple wedges and the mint.

Makes 1 quart.

google "pineapple sorbet" for non-dairy recipes!
