That's Sweet!: Pinopsicle



Pinopsicle (first I is long, name chosen by Caleb)

1 whole pineapple
8 popsicle sticks

Cut of top and bottom of pineapple, shave off outer layer. Cut in half lengthwise and then cut each half in half. Shave off the core, then cut the quarters into eighths and stick a popsicle into the bottom. Eat as you would a popsicle, but no drips.

Interesting things about pineapples:
1. You should never eat pineapple cores. They are not poisonous, but are indigestable and will form fiber balls in your colon - fun.
2. Really like pineapples? Save the top, you can use it to grow a whole new plant. You can even grow them indoors.
3. Pineapple plants are bromeliads - and the only edible ones.

hum... I always eat the core. I guess my colon worked overtime.
