Here is my Photo Slideshow of how-to chop a pineapple! Learn this skill!
Trust me, you’ll be strolling through the produce section of Whole Foods and spot a perky beautiful pineapple calling your name: Buy me! But you’ll pause. “Too much trouble,” you’ll sigh to yourself. Not true! It takes but a few minutes to chop a whole fresh pineapple.
The hardest part? Carrying it home (and I’m in NYC car-less. You probably have a big car trunk and everything!) You’re set. Learn this skill, or get a refresher course to inspire some pineapple chopping… Click ahead for the image version of How-to Chop a Pineapple…
To make it easier to carry home, have the cashier take the top off at the checkstand (it comes off really easily) and voila – no more prickly bits!
And don’t forget to stand it upside down for a day before you cut it.
This juice settles at the bottom of the fruit during all the shipping and storing. Flipping it upside down before cutting helps distribute the juice back through the whole fruit.
i love your use of fresh pineapple ~ so many rely on the canned stuff (i grew up on it for god’s sake, LOL), but there is NOTHING like fresh… i think some people are intimidated by some fresh fruits ~ pineapples, watermelons, mangoes ~ and they find it easier to buy pre-cut, but it’s just not the same. kudos for showing everyone how easy it is.
i like your idea of cutting it into rings, but i always found that quartering the peeled pineapple, coring it w/ an angled knife, and then cubing it was easier. that’s just a matter of preference, tho ~ your way is simple, too.
