A quick way to peel, core and cut a fresh pineapple into wedges is shown in these drawings.
1. Lay the fruit on its side and, grasping it firmly with one hand, slice off the leafy crown and the base with a large, sharp knife.
2. Stand the pineapple on end and slice off the prickly rind in seven or eight downward strokes, cutting deep enough each time to remove the eyes.
3. Divide the fruit into quarters, and cut the triangular section of core away from each quarter.
4. Lay each quarter on its side and slice it crosswise into wedges of the desired thickness.
