Okay, it’s something I learned a long time ago but maybe it can be something you learned this week. 

When I get to Maui, one of the first things we do is go grocery shopping for the week and the very first stop I make at the market is the produce aisle where I pick out a good Hawaiian pineapple. (Firm, not soft) If you’ve never had a real Maui Gold pineapple you’ve never had a pineapple. Sweet as candy without a hint of sour makes these a real island treat. 

Okay… let’s get to it. First of all, if you can, never buy the already sliced pineapple because they tend to dry out a bit. Try to find a whole pineapple. Cutting one up is pretty easy. I’ll show you how to do it right in a few easy steps.
