Party Pineapple - Part 2

Kay of Musings asked how I made the 'party' pineapple I featured in a recent post.  I took a few photos to show you how.  Hopefully you can understand the instructions.  I would advise using a very sharp paring knife but be careful not to cut yourself.  It's fun to eat pineapple this way.

The finished product


Cut the top off

quarter the pineapple

run a sharp knife under hard centre core

run the knife down the sides

continue under the flesh as pictured



now cut individual slices (not the core)

poke the slices out, alternating direction

Looks great, but as I have a talent for cutting my fingers, I think I will not try it! Have a good day, Valerie

OH wow! That is just so cool! Thank you so much for showing me, Christine. Next time I get a pineapple, I'm going to have to try this. I wasn't a pineapple trimmer at Dole for nothing.

Wow once again your artistry blows me away. You are naturally gifted :) I couldn't do that even with the instructions to be honest LOL

Looks very nice, but we eat pineapple too fast to spend the time to make it fancy :-)

I usually never cut pineapple anymore. It needs a strong knife, I once broke a handle trying to get through it.

You make it look so easy! I tried cutting a pineapple once and it turned out to be a holy mess! LOL...

I'm like Martha, my attempts to cut up a whole pineapple were fraught with a big mess. I just buy it all ready cut up at Whole Foods.
