Fresh Pineapple....How To Cut Into Pineapple Rings Yourself

When we first start buying fresh pineapple, we would have it cored at the store. It was just easier plus we had no clue as to how to properly cut a fresh pineapple without making a mess. The disadvantage to having it cored at the store was that we were losing a lot of the pineapple because the coring machine was cutting off good pineapple.

That is when we decided to buy a whole fresh pineapple and by trial and error figure out how to cut it into pineapple rings ourselves. Here are some easy steps to cutting your own fresh pineapple rings. We found that there was minimal clean up and a whole lot more pineapple to eat.

Before you start cutting Fresh Pineapple Rings, here's what you will need

• Wood Cutting Board
• Large Sharp Knife
• Small Paring Knife
• Glass covered container or Tupperware container
