Pineapple Boats

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

(Barcas de Piña)
Category: Fruit
Just about every resort hotel in Mexico dazzles the eye with beautiful breakfast buffets. Pineapple boats laden with chunks of tropical fruits and decorated with exotic blossoms are often part of the tempting array of morning delights, and they are easy to make at home, too.


   1 large ripe fresh pineapple, with leaves attached
   1 large ripe mango, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
   2 oranges, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
   2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
   1 kiwifruit, peeled and cut into bite size pieces (optional)
   1/2 cup red or green seedless grapes
   Sprig fresh mint
   Lime wedges


1. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise keeping the leaves attached. Carefully cut out the fruit as close to the rind as possible, taking care to keep the outside shells intact. Reserve the shells. Cut the pineapple into bite size pieces and put them in a large bowl.

2. Add the mango, oranges, bananas, kiwi, and grapes to the bowl. Mix gently and mound the fruits in the reserved shells. Place the pineapple boats on a large serving platter. Decorate with mint sprigs and garnish with lime wedges. Serve cold.
