Pineapple - How to Carve

The most common way is to start by slicing the leafy plume and the stem ends from the fruit. To remove the tough exterior, steady the pineapple upright on a cutting board, then slice downward just below the surface of the rind, following the curve of the fruit. Rotate and repeat. Remove the eyes with a short knife by making v-shaped cuts around each.
To slice or chop, place the fruit on its side. To slice, cut it crosswise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick slices, then cut each slice in half. To chop, cut the fruit lengthwise into six or eight wedges, then cut each wedge crosswise into pieces.
Trim and discard the woody core from each piece.
