Do some fruits intimidate you? Perhaps the fierce looking pineapple? Since we’re about to make a Hawaiian Pizza with leftover Easter Ham, we’re going to make sure we’re confident in our pineapple butchering skills. A few simple secrets make it fast and easy.

Aside from a pineapple, you’ll need a cutting board and a sharp chef’s knife. Grasp the top of the pineapple as your handle. Cut off the SIDES, first. Then cut off the base. Rest the pineapple on its side and cut in in half, keeping the top as your handle.

Make three more slices so that the pineapple is now divided into 8 fairly even sections.  Finally, make thin slices across across the pineapple. Now you’re slicing eight pieces at a time! This is the ticket to minimal waste and quick results.
