    Substitutions

    • Pumpkin Spice - use pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon for a pumpkin flavor.
    • Brown Sugar - use granulated sugar and molasses to make your own brown sugar.

    How To Cut A Pineapple

    First, slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Then, run your knife down the sides of the pineapple to peel it. Once your pineapple is peeled slice in half, Then slice each half into quarters cutting out the hard core. Once you have quarters you can slice those again into large chunks if you want smaller pieces.
