Ingredients

1 whole ripe pineapple
1 whole ripe pineapple

Steps:

Quarter the pineapple lengthwise. Using a thin, sharp knife cut core away from each wedge by making a shallow slice the length of the pineapple. Follow the skin of the pineapple and cut the fruit away from it using your knife, keeping the green tops attached. Next, cut pineapple into 1/2-inch slices. Each quarter pineapple will now hold several wedges. Separate fruit by sliding wedges alternately to the left then to the right. Each completed pineapple serving will look like a boat filled with the fruit slices.

Tips:

Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples that are yellow-orange in color and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid pineapples that are green or have brown spots.
Cut the pineapple into 1-inch thick wedges: This will help the pineapple cook evenly.
Remove the core from each pineapple wedge: Use a sharp knife to cut out the core, being careful not to cut into the flesh of the pineapple.
Marinate the pineapple wedges in a mixture of brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger: This will help the pineapple absorb flavor.
Cook the pineapple wedges over medium heat until they are caramelized: This will take about 10 minutes per side.
Serve the pineapple wedges immediately: They can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or dessert.

Conclusion:

Spicy pineapple wedges are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pineapple, spicy chili peppers, and tangy lime juice is sure to please everyone. Whether you are serving them as an appetizer, side dish, or dessert, these pineapple wedges are sure to be a hit.
