Preparation Steps

• Lay the pineapple on its side and slice off the top and bottom ends, about 0.5 inches from each.
• Stand the pineapple upright and carefully slice off the rind, following the curve of the fruit. Try to remove as little flesh as possible.
• Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, then in half again to create quarters.
• Cut out the tough, woody core from each quarter.
• Slice the pineapple quarters into bite-sized spears or chunks, as desired.
