How to Prep a Pineapple

You can cut a pineapple by hand or use an inexpensive pineapple cutter.  If you are cutting by hand, do the following:

1. Cut the top and the bottom off so that you have a cylinder. 
2. Cut off the peel.
3. Cut out diagonal wedges to remove the eyes.
4. Turn the pineapple to a vertical position and cut the pineapple vertically into four or six wedges.
5. Cut the hard center away by cutting the inner slice of the wedges away.
