Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple
Instructions
- Start with a sharp serrated knife. Slice off the spiky leafed top, or ‘crown’, of the pineapple and discard.
- Stand the pineapple on end and use your knife to carefully slice off the rind, following the curve of the fruit.
- Rotate the pineapple until you’ve removed all of the outer peel. Go around with a smaller knife to remove any spiky brown ‘eyes’ left on the fruit.
- Slice the pineapple as thick or thin as you like, depending on your needs.
- Simply dice the slices! Tip: if you’re making salsa slice the pineapple very thinly first, then cut the thin slices into a very small dice.
- Plan to use your cut pineapple within 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
