  1. In a saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and cool syrup.

  2. Peel Pineapple and core. Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch chunks.

  3. In a blender or food processor puree 3 cups pineapple with 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons syrup. Stir in passion-fruit nectar or juice and champagne . Transfer mixture to a shallow metal baking pan. Freeze mixture, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every hour, until mixture is firm but not frozen hard, about 3 to 4 hours. Granita may be made 2 days ahead and frozen, covered.

  4. Just before serving, scrape granita with a fork to lighten texture. Horizontally halve baby pineapples and with a serrated knife hollow out enough of core and pineapple to hold about 1 cup granita. Serve granita in pineapples, mounding it, or in chilled goblets.
