Purchase a fruit that’s firm with no soft spots. Color is not an indicator of ripeness and there’s not always the sweet pineapple scent. Some say you can pull a green blade from the crown when fruit is ripe.

A corer is usually two parts: a handle and a blade. There are different size blades for different sized pineapples..

Squeeze the pineapple and collect the juice. This can be used for a pina colada or for freezing slices.

Pineapple doesn’t store well for long periods. If freezing, cover completely with pineapple juice – fresh and/or purchased.
