I was given a fresh whole pineapple. There is no way I can eat a whole pineapple before it would spoil if I don't find a way to preserve part of it for later use. Anyone have any ideas of how to do that? Thank you for any & all help.

I think you can dehydrate pineapple just like you would apricots or other fruit. I don't know the details. You'd have to look up oven temperature and length of time to dry them. Do you own a dehydration machine? We use ours for beef jerky but you can do fruit too.

Sadly no I don't know...
Fresh pineapple doesn't last long with me.
It should keep for a few days in the fridge though ~ or you can freeze it (cube it).

Wow! With me it wouldn't last very long either. I'd eat some as it is, grill some and eat it hot, maybe even make a pineapple upside down cake!
From homecookingabout.com:
quote:
Fresh pineapple is quite perishable. It bruises easily in spite of its seemingly armored exterior and will ferment if kept at room temperature for too long. If storing at room temperature, use within two days.
Storing at room temperature will increase the acidity level of the pineapple, but will not improve sweetness. You can extend the lifespan to three to five days by refrigerating the whole pineapple in a perforated plastic bag.
Once trimmed and cut, be sure the pineapple is covered in juice in an airtight container, refrigerate and use within five to seven days. Let the fruit return to room temperature before eating to improve flavor.
Freshly-cut pineapple can be frozen in juice or syrup, but it will lose some flavor. Peel, core and cut into chunks. Place in airtight plastic bags or covered containers with their natural juice and freeze up to 6 months.

I cut it fresh, then put it in the fridge. It lasts a good week or so. This last one, I did use the last of it for sweet&sour chicken because it was just on the edge. Usually, though, it gets eaten within a couple of days.

Anytime I have more fresh fruit than I can use, I chop it into chunks and freeze it on a tray. Once it is frozen I put it in a ziploc bag and store it in the freezer. Then I use the frozen fruit to make smoothies.
