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.
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.
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!
