How do you freeze fresh pineapple? Can you? I cut the up a fresh pineapple and wanted to freeze a portion, will it last and retain flavor/consistency? Also: is there anything that can be done with the Core - the hard part in the middle?
I usually cut the pineapple into bite size pieces before freezing them.


IF i'm at my mom's restaurant, I usually put it in the super chiller, and then into the freezer. 
At home, I usually drain it, for 20 -30 minutes in a sieve and then put them in air tight freezer bags.
