A creative way to present your pineapple and other summer fruit is to use the pineapple as a bowl. One pineapple will provide 2 bowls.

Remove any brown and/or discolored leaves. To create a base, cut a thin slice from each half of the pineapple.

With a large cutlery knife, cut the pineapple (including the crown) in half.

Remove the core of each pineapple half by creating a V cut from top to bottom of the core. After completing a V cut, slice each end straight across, remove core.

Using a curved, serrated knife, remove the fresh pineapple from each half.

Cut pineapple into chunks and place in the pineapple bowl.

Add other fresh fruits if desired. A pineapple bowl can also be used to hold cold salads and desserts.
