Peeling

Peel fruit with a peeler or small knife just before using to prevent discoloration. How to peel can vary - peel around the fruit in a spiral as shown here, or remove a little skin at the top and bottom and peel the remainder vertically.

Core the apple, then peel off the skin, circling round the apple from top to bottom.

Use a canelle knife to pare away a single fine strip of skin, spiralling carefully down from the stalk to the bottom.
