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.
