How do I lower a pineapple?

Pineapple cutters appear to be a fantastic concept, however pineapples are available in all kinds of sizes and their cores are of various thickness so it doesn’t at all times work in observe.
Lay the pineapple on its aspect on a big reducing board. Minimize about 1/2 inch off the highest and backside (eradicating the massive inexperienced stalk on prime).
Stand the pineapple upright. Use a pointy knife to slice that unruly, pokey pores and skin off the perimeters in slices. Attempt to depart as a lot of the flesh intact as doable, however take away all that nasty pores and skin.
The core of the pineapple is normally onerous and inedible. Really feel round one finish of the pineapple to see the place that hardness begins. I normally use a uninteresting butter knife to make slightly indentation to stipulate the core. If you’re cubing your pineapple merely lower massive chunks off, leaving the onerous core behind, then slice and cube into cubes. If you’re creating rings, you’ll lower slices and take away the core out of every individually.
