PINEAPPLE SPEARS, WEDGES, AND SLICES

Steps:

• To make the pineapple spears, cut the pineapple in half, lengthwise. Cut one half of the pineapple into quarters and make an incision parallel with the core. Place the pineapple spear on the rim of the glass. (The remaining pineapple can be cut into cubes and placed in the freezer to be made into a smoothie.) To make the pineapple wedges, place the pineapple on its side and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices cut each slice in half. Cut each half into wedges, about 3 inches wide at the bottom and 21/2 inches high from the bottom to top. Make a slit by cutting through the rind and halfway into the pineapple wedge. Fit the slit over the rim of the glass. To make the pineapple slices, place the pineapple on its side and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices cut each slice in half.
