OK, you wonderful people, please inspire me with your wonderful knowledge on how to be creative with fresh pineapple

Chop into chunks, stir in greek yoghurt and add passionfruit seeds. It's lovely and the yoghurt takes the sharpness away from the pineapple.

I've also seen a recipe on how to barbecue it which sounds amazing, but have never tried this.

Not that creative but pineapple upsidedown cake, with glace cherries in the ring, I remember making it at school

Chop into cubes, put onto cocktail sticks with cubes of cheese and then put them into half a grapefruit covered in foil

Pan fry slices in butter and serve with a caramel sauce.

Hahaha Egg

You can make pineapple fritters too. Just make pancake mix, dip pineapple rings/slices in, fry in hot oil, serve hot with honey drizzled over.

Pineapple sorbet
Or very thinly slice it, drool over pulp seeds and juice of 2 passion fruit, a dribble of orange juice, then cling film the platter and leave in fridge for a couple of hours for flavours to meld.

Pineapple fritters with ice cream?

Serve with gammon steaks, chips and peas?

Cheese and pineapple toasties. My absolute fav

Slice the pineapple and with some fresh mint crushed up with caster sugar. Mouth wateringly good

I chop pineapple up and put it in my chilli con carne and fajhitas too.

Just get a pineapple corer/slicer from Lakeland and enjoy the ease at which you can prepare it, eat it fresh and then buy another pineapple to prepare the same way.

Can you tell I'm mighty impressed with my gadget?!

Rub a cut chilli on a slice and add sea salt.

Bash fresh mint leaves into sugar so it all goes green then sprinkle over the pineapple. Do not eat the whole pineapple in one go because it will make your mouth bleed (voice of greed experience).

Cheese and pineapple on sticks off to make some now

I made a pineapple jalfrezi once (as a student. Had a tin of pineapple and a jar of jalfrezi sauce and nothing else). It was actually fairly tasty.

Or use it in sweet and sour chicken/pork/prawns.

almostanotherday make sure you make a hedgehog! You can't just put the cheese and pineapple on sticks and eat it.

Chop into cubes; throw a few in a container with some berries, a bit of yoghurt and milk to make a lovely smoothie

Hawaiian kebabs: chicken, chunks of pineapple and sweet peppers on a stick. Marinade in pineapple juice/soy/ginger/brown sugar before grilling. Serve in pitta or with rice
