Pineapple Slicing Tutorial

Do you know the easiest way to slice a fresh pineapple?  When Kent was in the Dominican Republic for three months in college he visited a pineapple farm and learned how to slice up a pineapple.  We had fresh pineapple with our shredded Mission Kitchen BBQ beef sandwiches on Valentine’s day and I documented the process.  Excuse our very wilted overly ripe pineapple.  It’s not looking so pretty
on the outside, but the inside was still sweet and juicy.

in to quarters.

Stand each quarter up and slice off the core for disposal.

Slice each quarter from bottom to top…like so. Kent used a filleting knife and it worked well.

Slice across into small pieces.  In the Dominican Republic the pineapple would remain resting on the skin for serving.
