Instructions
Paper Bag Method
- Place the whole pineapple into a large paper bag with other fruits such as apples, bananas or tomatoes.
- Fold the top of the bag down to seal as much as possible. The pineapple will be ready in 1-2 days. Inspect it once daily and remove it when ripe.
Upside Down Method
- Set aside a tall vase, container or pot that can hold a pineapple comfortably.
- Place the pineapple in it upside down so the fronds (leaves) are facing up. Wait one day to allow the sugars in the base to spread through the flesh.
Rice Method
- Set aside a tall vase, container or pot that can hold a pineapple snugly. Place the pineapple in it facing up.
- Pour rice around the pineapple until the skin is mostly covered. The pineapple will be ripe in 1-2 days. Check daily to avoid over-ripening.
Notes
- Paper Bag Method: Other ethylene-producing fruits that can go in the bag include pears, mangoes, kiwis, avocados, peaches, nectarines and figs.
