Preparing

You will need a sharp knife & a chopping board to prepare your pineapple. There are many ways to cut a pineapple but this is how we like to do it:

First ensure you have a very sharp knife, lay the pineapple down & cut off the top & the bottom.

Stand the fruit on one end & carefully cut down the sides following the shape of the pineapple.

Continue to carefully cut down the sides following the shape of the pineapple.

Cut the pineapple in half lengthways & cut again into quarters.

 

Remove the hard centre core from each quarter.

Lastly cut into delicious bite-sized pieces or long 'spears' & eat immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
