I absolutely love pineapple! My favorite way to eat pineapple is cut up with cottage cheese. For real. It's one of my favorite snacks.I bought a pineapple, last week, that was as green as they come. It was on sale for $2.75. Sweet! For one week, I let that beautiful fruit sit on my kitchen window sill and ripen. On Sunday, it was ready and I want to show you one of my very favorite kitchen gadgets.
If you already own one of these, then you know what a great invention these are. If you don't own one, they can be found at Williams Sonoma, or Cooking.com.
Watch how easy this is:
Cut the top off...
Position the pineapple slicer so that the cylinder is in alignment with the core...
Keep turning, clock wise, until you feel it has reached the bottom...
Now start to pull up....
Magic!
I gently fan this spiral cut pineapple and cut these into individual slices...
Imagine the possibilities that you can make with this perfectly carved out pineapple!
I am so going to tease you... I've been very busy grilling, and making soups, salads and all kinds of great meals. I'm just a bit overwhelmed with work to blog about this recipe. It's my own version of grilled chicken teriyaki burgers with grilled pineapple-- and I made the sauce myself... and it was fantastic!Oh. I've also been very busy doing this...
Enjoying the purple carpets of spring lupines in the cattle pastures off Highway 68 between Monterey and Salinas...
A cattle chute, still used for calf branding. I've helped out here...back in the day...when I was much younger and appreciated a good lookin' cowboy in tight Wranglers.
I'll be sharing more recipes by this weekend. It's been in the 90's, so I've been swimming after work and grilling and eating salads.
I love this Spring Weather!
