   Slice: Using a sharp, serrated knife, slice the kiwi in half. Slice it on the widest side so you don’t have to mess with the belly button when you are scooping the flesh out.

2. Scoop: Slide a large table spoon into the kiwi between the skin and the flesh. If the kiwi is ripe enough, this will be easy. Using a circular motion, slide the spoon around the edge of the skin to release the fruit from the edge of the skin.

3. Removal: At this point, the kiwi may be completely removed from the skin. If not, turn the skin inside out and using the spoon or knife release it the rest of the way. With practice, the kiwi can be remove from the skin in 2 pieces.
