Pineapple freezes well but do it asap after cutting. Pineapple juice attacks the skin which is probably why your hands absorb the smell. In the past workers in pineapple canning factories lost their fingerprints due to the effect of the juice!

Cut it up into cubes put on a baking tray and freeze separately and then bag up and put back in the freezer.
Sweet and sour sauce maybe.

Make a pineapple upside down cake, cut it into portions and freeze it.
Puds for a couple of days.

It's strawberries that don't seem to fare so well unless you intend making strawberry jam.

I'm sure it'll freeze alright Fennel as long as it's separated then it doesn't all stick together .

I think you can freeze it. My motto is to try and freeze anything I have in excess. The worst that can happen is you have to throw it out. Despite warnings that you can’t freeze fresh tomatoes, I do. Sure, they collapse and can’t be used like a fresh one but they’re fine for a tomato-based sauce or soup.

If the pineapple ends up going mushy, you can always make a smoothie with it or add it to other fruit in a crumble.

Someone gave me a huge pineapple last week. It was green at the time but is now in perfect ripeness - you can smell its perfume.
I've peeled it and cut it up but there's far more than we can eat.
Would it work to freeze it for later use?
Otherwise, any other ideas?
