Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the pineapple on a cutting board on its side and slice off the spiky top and bottom of the pineapple to create a flat base.

  2. Set the pineapple flat side down. Work your way around the pineapple, cutting off the rind in strips. Use your knife to remove the "eyes," being careful to remove as little of the fruit as possible. Trim off any remaining eyes or bits of rind.
