Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

You will need the following utensils:

A chopping board
A good knife

Your pineapple should be very ripe, to check this, you should be able to pull out one of the central leaves easily.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Start with top: cut about 1 cm or ½ inch beneath the leaves.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Then the bottom, remove 1 cm or ½ inch here too.

Stage 4 - 4 min.

Stand the pineapple up, and cut vertically in strips to remove all the skin.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Go over the outside again to cut off any remaining "eyes". Pineapple should now be completely yellow.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Cut pineapple into quarters vertically.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Lay each piece flat, cut out the hard fibrous core. Also remove any brown over-ripe parts.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Then cut quarters as required for your recipe, here in medium size pieces.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Finally, squeeze all the pieces of skin or trimmings of flesh in your hands to extract the juice that you can drink or use in a recipe or a cocktail.

Remarks

This method applies to a Victoria Pineapple (small, but incredably tasty, especially if they come from Reunion), but of course it's the same for other kinds of pineapple.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.

Source: Home made.
