Cut Pear in HalfChoose either a slice of pineapple or a pear for the butterfly's wings. Cut this in half so that the sides are symmetrical or exactly the same. If you are using a pear, cut out the core from each side once you have cut the fruit in half. Also, you may want to cut some of the curve of the pear off so that the sides will lay flatter on the plate. (You can also used canned pear halves.)
