Ingredients

  • 1 Pineapple

Instructions

  • Start by removing an inch of the top and bottom of the pineapple
  • Stand the pineapple up, using a sharp knife, starting from the top, and following the contour of the pineapple, carefully peeling the skin off.
  • Continue to peel the pineapple, taking off 2-3 inch wide pieces of the peel, being sure to cut deep enough to see only the yellow flesh
  • The tough core of the pineapple is in the center and about the circumference of a quarter. Cut the pineapple in quarters from the top to the bottom, then remove each wedge of the core with a straight cut downward.
  • Take each quarter and cut into the desired size.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
