At one point I had cut up a fresh pineapple but didn’t have enough time to eat it all before it was going to spoil. We were probably going away on a trip or something. So I froze about 2 cups of nice bright yellow pineapple chunks in a clear bag. For six months I’ve been eyeing those pieces of pineapple in the freezer, waiting for the perfect time to pull them out and eat them.
The time finally came, so I transferred them to the fridge. After a day or so, they seemed to be mostly thawed, so I figured I’d put them in yogurt the next day.
The next day, the pineapple was starting to turn brown, but most of the pieces still looked quite edible. I decided to just put half of it in a bowl to try to eat plain. It’s hard to describe the flavour. It didn’t taste “off” like the way old watermelon does. However, while it still had a pineapple flavour, the sweetness was essentially gone. It was like I had created a savoury variant of pineapple. This may be exactly what some people are looking for, but it’s not what I was after. I guess freezing pineapple doesn’t work.
