• Carefully cut out a round hole at the bottom of your pineapple.
• I used an ice-cream scoop and scraped out the pineapple innards'.
• Be very careful NOT to go too far into the outside skin, as this will weaken the shell.
• Now is the time to generously salt the entire inside of your pineapple. 
• Next, firmly stuff the inside with paper towels.
• Set your oven at the lowest heat possible.  
• Place pineapple on a baking plate in the oven.
• Checking periodically and after several hours when the skin/shell is dried, remove the paper towels.
• I then waded up some tin foil and replaced the paper towels to maintain its shape and not collapse in on itself.
• Place back into the oven.
• When you think it is thoroughly dried, remove from oven, let it stand on its own and allow too cool. 
• Remove foil or do as I did and leave the foil in for several more days or weeks.  This is your option. 
• It probably took about 16 hours for this process.  Depending on your oven, pineapple size and ???

Have FUN & ENJOY as I did.
