Frozen Pineapple

I like to use frozen fruit to make fruit shakes as part of breakfast. Last year I came across a frozen fruit medley that contained strawberries, mango, peaches and pineapple. My husband is not a big peach or mango fan, but it gave the idea to try frozen pineapple. Strawberry-banana-pineapple shakes are delicious, but just try to find a bag of frozen pineapple at your local grocery store. So I decided to make my own.

Pineapples have been relatively cheap lately so during the last month I have bought 4 pineapples and froze them. Here is how you do it:


 Cut the top and the bottom off of the pineapple as well as the outside of the pineapple. Try the curve with the skin. You will keep more of the fruit.

Quarter the pineapple lenghtwise.

Remove the tough stringy core by cutting off the point of each of the quarters.

Cut into bite-sized pieces.

Place a single layer of pineapple pieces onto a freezer paper lined cookie sheet and put in the freezer. (I usually let mine freeze over night.)

Remove the fruit from the freezer paper and place into a freezer bag.

Now you have individually frozen fresh pineapple chunks that are delicious to snack on as well as to make shakes with.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

I just wanted to explain why I have not posted for a while. In mid April we found out that we were expecting, which explained why I had not been feeling very well and had little desire to cook. Unfortunately, a week later we miscarried. I am still not feeling like my normal self yet, but I am working on getting some of the things that I wanted to post during that time ready to post.

Please have patience with me while I work through this. I will get more things posted as soon as I can. Thanks.
