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.
