Spring is here and we are starting to see the blooming of beautiful wild flowers and the emergence of summer fruit. One of my favorite summer fruits is the venerable pineapple. Pineapple is the official fruit of Hawaii and also a universal symbol for hospitality. That is why you always see pineapples carvings and symbolism at hotels and resorts. Pineapples have also been called the fruit of colonialism as it was a commodity that European colonists sought to develop pineapple plantations all across South America and the Caribbean. @Ourlifestory send me a pic of some wild pineapples from Curacao. Today I am going to show you how to easily and flawlessly carve a pineapple with this kitchen tool.
I haven't the slightest idea what this tool is called but it works wonders. All you need is a ripe pineapple, a knife, and a pineapple slicer.
The really cool thing is once you pull the slices out, you can dink all of that succulent pineapple juice that is sitting with the core. It's quick and it's easy. If I remember correctly, I paid $4.00 USD for mine. Saves time and money as it increases the yield of your fruit. ENJOY!
