How to Core and Peel a Pineapple

Not sure how to properly core and peel a pineapple? Here’s a quick and easy how-to:

• Cut off the ends. Use a large, sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom ends of the pineapple. When done, stand the pineapple upright on one end to allow the juices to permeate throughout.
• Peel the pineapple. Rotate the pineapple as you shave off the peel.
• Remove the eyes. Use the tip of the knife to make angled cuts to remove the eyes within the flesh of the pineapple.
• Core the pineapple. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters and then remove the core from each quarter.

Can I Use Other Fruits with This Recipe?

If you would rather swap out the pineapple for a different kind of fruit when making this recipe, that’s okay. Here are some suggestions for replacements to try:

• Apples (the classic)
• Berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
