Fresh pineapple is better than candy. I love it, and it is healthful, too. It is sweet and juicy, and it will make take the edge off the afternoon so you can control your hunger till suppertime.
Buy fresh pineapple. If it is already cleaned, you can put sections in a plastic bag or container to take with you. If you buy a whole pineapple do not panic. It is easier to clean and prepare than you might think.
Remove the top and bottom so that both are flat. Stand the pineapple up on the end and remove the outside by slicing straight down from top to bottom. Turn the pineapple around and continue to remove the peel until you have completely cleaned it. There may be brown spot where the outside was dimpled. You will notice that these dimples run in a straight diagonal lines. If you want to remove them, lay the pineapple down and make a shallow cut on each side of each line and take it out.
Stand the pineapple on the end and cut it in half from top to bottom. Then cut the halves again so that you have four quarters. If you remove the narrow part of the triangular wedge, you have removed most of the core. Slice the spears in bite size pieces. Enjoy!!!
