🍴 FAQ
How do you know when a pineapple is ripe?
The biggest clue is to do a sniff test. Smell the base of the pineapple and see if you smell any sweetness. If you do, that’s a big clue that it’s ripe and ready. The other is by coloring. If you see yellow, it’s ripe.
How do you make a pineapple boat?
If you want to be fancy, serve this simple salsa in a pineapple boat! Start by putting the pineapple on its side and using a serrated knife to cut the pineapple.
Put the knife a little bit off the center, and make a cut under the stem. Once it’s cut, use a pairing knife to cut an outline of the pineapple rim, leaving some of the pineapple meat to hold the boat together.
Make a rectangle shape in the center with the knife and then scoop it out with a spoon on both side.
Use the knife to loosen the core and then cut meat off the bottom so you can eat it still. Repeat for the second side, and then fill up with salsa.
Turn pineapple on its side. You’ve just created a really cool serving bowl for the salsa!
