Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 2 min.
You will need the following utensils:
- A chopping board
- A good knife
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.

Clarified butter
This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.421K4.2 2 hours 14 min. June 21th 2017
