My husband loves to put chili powder on pretty much every fruit he eats.  He puts chili on watermelon, apples, cucumbers... My little 3 year old has picked up this preference as well.  Chili powder on fruit is nothing new to me, but I had not thought to put chili on pineapple (which the hubby is allergic to.)  I saw this pineapple with chili presentation this past weekend at the rodeo of all places.  It was delicious!  I couldn't wait to go buy a pineapple and share the goodness with all of you. 


I started with a fresh, ripe pineapple.


There may be another way to hollow out a pineapple besides a pineapple corer, but I have no idea what that would be.


To hollow out the pineapple, I sliced off the top and twisted the pineapple corer until I was about 2 inches away from the bottom.  Then I pulled the corer out.

 
I used a knife to slice the pineapple off of the corer, even though the top can come off to allow a continuous spiral of pineapple.  I put aside 4 whole slices, and cut up the rest.  Then laid everything out and sprinkled the pineapple with chili powder.
 
 
I put all of the pineapple chunks back into the pineapple, and then arranged the slices on the side.  Then, I pulled put 3 leaves from the top of the pineapple, rinsed them off, and then arranged them in the pineapple as well.
 
 
That's it!  I love the way this pineapple is served.
 
 
Your guests might feel like they are on a tropical vacation this Summer 🙂
 
 
Plus, pineapple with chili powder is just delicious.
 
 
I still don't know what this was doing at the rodeo, but I'm sure glad for the idea 🙂
