Pineapple Boat

  • Split the pineapple lengthwise, starting at the top of the crown of the pineapple (no need to cut the crown in half, just start on the other side of it so that one half will be a bit larger than the other.
  • Take the small half and cut off the green skin off the pineapple.
  • Slice the peeled pineapple into 1/4-1/2" slices and set aside.
  • Take a sharp knife cut into the halved pineapple about 3/4" from the edge. Cut along the entire pineapple's circumference.
  • With a spoon, scoop out the center along the cut edge and set aside.
  • Cover pineapple boat with plastic wrap and store in fridge while preparing the other ingredients.
