PINE-APPLE, TINNED
Pineapples are preserved in tins whole, and are very superior in flavor to those which are sold cheap on barrows, which are more rotten than ripe. They require very little ornamenting, but the top is greatly improved by placing a red cherry in the center, and cutting eight strips of green angelica like spikes, reaching from the cherry to the edge of the pineapple. They should be cut in exact lengths, so as not to overlap. The top of the pine-apple looks like a green star with a red center.
