SELECTING AND SERVING PINEAPPLE
Selection is an important step in preparing pineapple dishes. With canned food everything is simple, priority goes to the rings, which are made from ripe, high-quality fruits. How to choose fresh pineapple?
The skin of a fresh pineapple is elastic, but not soft! And without stains. A dull sound when tapped will confirm ripeness. The leaves of the ripe fruit's tuft should be lush and green, but each can easily come off if pulled; in unripe fruit they sit tightly on the top of the head. A cut ripe pineapple emits a light sweetish aroma, which is absent from unripe fruits, and a pungent odor is emitted by overripe fruits that have begun to deteriorate.
To peel a pineapple, cut off the bottom, then the cap, place it vertically on a dish and use a sharp knife to cut off the peel in narrow strips from top to bottom, using the tip of the knife to cut out the “eyes.” Next, the pineapple is cut into circles, removing the hard central part from each, or cut into quarters, cut out the core and cut into slices or small sticks.
The juicy ripe pulp is served in large chunks on plates with dessert cutlery. Pineapple in syrup, with whipped cream or sweet sauce is served in portioned bowls and with a dessert spoon.
Contrary to expectations, out of all the abundance of recipes with pineapple in our kitchen, the most salads, pineapple gives them aristocracy, desserts come in second place. And in southern cuisines, hot main courses with pineapple are popular; it goes well with meat, fish and vegetables.
