- A good knife

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

Stage 4 - ⌛ 4 min.
Stand the pineapple up, and cut vertically in strips to remove all the skin.

Lay each piece flat, cut out the hard fibrous core. Also remove any brown over-ripe parts.
Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 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.
