In a small saucepan add the sugar and water over a low heat and let the sugar dissolve without stirring.
When the sugars dissolved take off the heat and allow it to cool completely.
Pour the cold sugar syrup along with the pineapple pieces and lime juice in a stick blender or a food processor and blitz on high until it is completely pureed without any chunks.

Remove from the freezer and scrape away with a fork.
