Pineapple bowls or pineapple boats as they are known, are so pretty to serve fresh pineapple chunks, or for dishes like tropical coconut rice, teriyaki or huli huli chicken…
How To Make a Pineapple Bowl:
- Using a large knife cut the pineapple lengthwise and through the leaves into 2 halves.
- Use a small serrated paring knife, cut around the edge of the pineapple leaving about 3/4” of the outside of the pineapple.
- Next, remove center core by cutting down both sides of the core at a slight angle.
- Remove the pineapple core.
- Slice the pineapple into chunks.
- Use a large serving spoon, scoop out the pineapple chunks, save the juice ~ drink it or make a smoothie!
- Place pineapple chunks back into the bowl.
- Pretty pineapple bowls!

I have always loved warm tropical places for vacation and a relaxing island vibe. When we can’t stick our toes in the sand the next best thing is to bring the islands home to us.

I did a dry run of this in hopes of having a pineapple boat at Easter brunch and it was so much easier than I thought and turned out beautifully! Thank you for this great how-to Lisa!
