Freeze Fresh PINEAPPLE
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Cut the top and bottom off of the fresh pineapple
2. Cut off the outside 'skin' with a utility knife after sitting the pineapple on the cut bottom or top
3. Cut the pineapple cylinder in half (top to bottom). Then, cut each half in half. Now there are 4 quarters
4. Cut out the core; it can be frozen, too. The core has the enzyme bromelain which is anti-inflammatory
5. Cut each of the quarters into smaller pieces
6. Place all the pieces of pineapple on a parchment lined baking sheet.
7. Once that's done, place the tray in the freezer for at least 5 hours OR overnight
8. After the pineapple pieces are frozen, remove them from the freezer and bag them. Then place the bags of frozen pineapple back in the freezer to use later.
Did you notice that Evan chose to show me drinking the pineapple juice from the bowl in which I put the cut pieces? You guys are really seeing the real me. 🤦🏾♀️

My objective for this channel is to share with others what I have learned over the last 30+ years about living and eating healthier. I share my knowledge with my small circle of friends all the time. I am not a doctor, nor do I hold any type of medical degree, but I believe that my tried experiences may help someone else.
For over 30 years I have used every diet imaginable to lose weight, but I confess that I am now at home using the vegan lifestyle. I want to share what I have learned about eating and enjoying food. And, since I am still learning how to be more consistent with this lifestyle, I have decided to eat more healthily, realizing the weight will come off eventually. Though I have not reached my goal weight, I know that sharing with other people in front of a camera with help me to stay on course.
I have, with the help of my husband of 37 years, raised 3 grown children. I will also share some cooking shortcuts as well as some natural formulas I have used and still use for everyday problems.

The older black generation is a different kind of beautiful 🤎🖤🤎
Thank you Berta Jay! I did not know to use the core. I will try that next time! I love your soft soothing voice. I think you are a natural teacher!
Thanks so much, Kim. I really never thought l could teach but l keep hearing from kind viewers like you tell me that l can. I appreciate your words so much; they have humbled me😌.
Definitely, use that pineapple core next time...okay? 🤗😁
What a wonderful, informative site! I have just finished freezing some raspberries and strawberries, and now I'll cut up a pineapple and freeze it as well. I don't do smoothies, but I periodically make a sugar-free fruit sauce that I eat on pancakes or waffles and sometimes add to muffins and cakes. Thank you.
I love your instructions fast,easy and to the point
Thanks so much, Universal. Your words are such a blessing to me. 🥰
Exactly. Very informative and to the point, not ‘look at me, I’m so cute.’ She’s very authentic, I subscribed right away. That quality is becoming harder and harder to find.
berta has such a soothing voice
Thanks so much, Pumpkin. I have been told that and I appreciate your humbling comment. I can't hear it...I guess that's good, huh? 🤭 🍍
Thanks Berta for sharing I usually freeze mostly all my fruits when I buy more than I should. I use them in my smoothies and I add it to plan water to add flavor and color.
Now adding them to plain water sounds so good. Healthier flavored water than some of the waters sold in bottles. Thanks for your tip, Katie. 👍🏽🤗
What did you do with the core of the pineapple? Can you tell me more or do you just use the core the same as the rest of the fruit?
I love your channel and thank for all of your kitchen tips.
I usually don't freeze the core but just eat it. 😁 Or, if you freeze it just throw it into your smoothie with the other pieces of pineapple. Remember: just use it with the other pieces.
Hope that's not too vague, Carolyn. 🤔
Your hair is beautiful...☺️Thanks, I needed to learn about freezing pineapple...🥂
Yes, thank you for simple and easy way to do things. ❤❤
You're welcome, Tabathia. I try. Glad you appreciate my efforts ☺
@@bertajay Even if it's been 3 yrs. ago, they do say you can make a comeback, Ms. Berta, you just did! please post more!
Thank you so much. I just found your channel and now I'm hooked ❤❤❤
I never knew you could eat the pineapple core!! I always thought it was kind of "woody' - like certain parts of broccoli or asparagus can be. Thanks, Berta - I ALWAYS learn something useful from your videos. To be honest, I've never purchased a whole fresh pineapple. I "cheat" & buy the pre-cut containers prepared by the produce department people at my market. But those are SUPER pricey. Now I just might get me a whole fresh one & dissect it myself. There's nothing like that taste either. The difference between fresh & canned pineapple is like NIGHT & DAY. One of the world's yummiest foods. Thanks again & have a great week! ❤️🥕❤️
You're welcome, Almost. I agree that the taste of a fresh pineapple can't be compared to anything else. I love knowing that the little I know and share is blessing you.
I have always eaten the core of the pineapple 🍍but when I learned that it contained an anti-inflammatory enzyme called bromelain, I now eat it with joy because I know that I'm doing something good for my body!
Thanks for your support and your comments, Almost. Have a joyful and peaceful day 🥰
Love it didn't know this . learning with you ty. Berta
You are so welcome, frances. I am glad to be able to teach you something that is useful to you. Thank you for your comment. 😊 🍍
Please forgive me for the delay in replying. 🙁
Thank you for this we have a project that is freezing the pineapple and I will use this video as a guide. :>
Thanks great video
You are quite welcome, lone. It has been very helpful for me. Hope it will be for you, as well. I appreciate you taking your time to leave me a comment. Have a marvelous day.
Dear Berta, greetings from South Africa.
This is the first video of yours that I watched and I very, very seldom comment on videos but I feel compelled to say that your video was very good. I lecture to student teachers and you are fabulous. Succinct, informative and just lovely.
Thank you.
Thank you ma’am- so helpful. Straight to the point and exactly the info I was looking for! Even the special mention of the food saver- of which I do have one but had failed to consider using it!
Berta Jay you’re the best. Love your videos and shows. I love how easy and fast your shows are!
Thanks, william. I want to make videos that I know won't take long to watch but my viewer will learn something that he/she will want to try. Guess I succeeded with you, huh? I'm so glad👍🏾
Good job Miss Berta
Thanks so much, Trail. I am glad to help. 👍🏾
Sorry to see this series come to and end. Learning a lot. Thanks Berta.
Oh, it's not over...sorry, if I made you feel it was, Naomi. I have found a couple of more items you can freeze. Fear not! I have more to share. Okay?😁
@@bertajay Oh, thankyou. Love this series.
@@naomihukes8283 I am glad, Naomi! 1st, l learn 2nd, l test what l learn 3rd, if l like the results then 4th, l share it with my viewers. If l haven't tried it first and liked it, you'll never see it. How's that? Thanks, Naomi for your support and all your comments.🥰👍🏽🍍
Just what I was looking for, thanks!
So happy I found your videos. I've already started using your idea of putting salad stuff into containers with paper towels to keep them from going mushy. IT WORKS! Only thing is I have to buy a fridge just for all the containers..lol ...no just kidding. Sorry to say I cannot eat fruit but at least I'll know what to do if someone asks about freezing fruit! Love your channel.
So am I, Sue. I am glad to have you as a member of my 'troup' (spelled incorrectly; but here's my reasoning: tribe + group = troup). I am thankful that the tip about storing salad fixings has helped you. I really do use it all the time. 😊
What do you eat for sweetness instead of fruit? Just curious. 🤔
@@bertajay Well, I eat dark chocolate . 78%, 85%, and 95%. I make chocolate chip cookies with almond flour and use sugar free chocolate chips. I use the erythritol, Swerve sweetners in my desserts. But I really limit them as I have type 2 diabetes and sweet stuff even the keto approved sweetners will spike my insulin. I know I've probably given you more information than you ever wanted. Don't get me wrong I love fruit...wish I could eat it but I can't right now...someday when the blood sugar is under GOOD control I'll be able to have a little fruit now and again. My cravings aren't so much for sweet but believe it or not I crave salad!
@@m.sue1804 I loved all of the information you shared. I want to know about my viewers so I can help IF I CAN 🤔.
Your cravings for salad don't surprise me because I have and continue to seek out good things to eat instead of the quick bag of junk food. I am surprising even myself at times. So just go with the flow of what your healing body is asking for; it knows better than you.
I am so proud of you, Sue. I love your overcoming attitude! It truly blesses me.
Do have a peaceful and joy-filled day😀. Thanks again for sharing your ❤️ with me. I am blessed by it. 😇
Berta Jay you are so sweet! Thank you for the encouragement!
Sue, you're welcome. lt is truly how l feel. 🥰
Thank You Once Again!! I never save the core 🤷🏽♀️ I will try that this weekend when I purchase a pineapple.
Very easy and simple...just make sure you have a ripe pineapple otherwise that core will not taste that good. 🍍
Thank you! I have always threw the core away. Not anymore!
Nice 👍 . For how long the it last in good condition the frozen pineapple 🍍? I will also will start using the core of the pineapple 🍍, I was trashing it 😁 I didn't know I could use it. Thank you so much for the advice 🙏😘💕❤️🇲🇽🇺🇸
That's right....in all your getting...get an understanding. 😉👍🏽
So true, so true, dear friend, Racq. Thanks. 🥰
Thanks Berta, for your response. Does the Pineapple have to be organic and USDA Certified
I am sure organic is better but I just buy what's on sale and pray before I eat it😊 (truly I do). Thanks for you comment, Carolyn.
Hello dear Miss Berta 😇 I think of you often.... like yesterday when I was putting parchment paper in a pan and I remembered that you shared a comment from one of your viewers. You shared that parchment paper lays easier in a pan if you crumble it up first, then put it in the pan. Works like a charm!! 🤩 In this video how would you suggest using the pineapple core? In a smoothie? Thanks for sharing another super video ❣️
Thanks so much, Sara, for remembering the Viewers Voices tip. It's a simple one but it works wonderfully.
The cores of a ripened pineapple is usually rather sweet so I usually just eat them after cutting; they could also be used in smoothies and fruit salads.
I hope that helps you a little bit, Sara. 😊
Miss Berta: Awesome 😎 On a different note: I just commented on your FB post about t-shirts. I would totally love an apron ❣️🥳TOTALLY 😁
@@lulamamie8524 Thanks so much for your response to that post. Evan and I are testing the 'waters' to see what "our troup" would want in the way of merchandise. It may be a while because there's lots of work to be done first.
Thanks again, Sara for you response to me. I appreciate it. 😉🥰
Does it take anything away from the pineapple by freezing it?
Thanks Berta, the enzyme bromelain is really interesting. It makes that rough stinging feeling in your mouth after eating too much. I'm looking at using pineapple as a tenderising marinade before rinsing and slow cooking meat. From my quick research it degrades at temperatures higher than 40 °C so canned pineapple won't work. My guess is that freezing fresh pineapple should be fine for this purpose.
Also that means I can't use heat to defrost the pineapple!
That's very interesting to know. Thanks for sharing. I see you just have to let the pineapple defrost at its own rate without heat. Thank you so much for sharing, Swiftaps. 😊
Exactly what I needed, explained well!
So glad I found you!
Thank you so much, Eclectic. I am so thankful you found me too. I appreciate you leaving a comment for me. Have a wonderful day 😊
🤣🤣🤣I love it! Drinking the pineapple juice out of the bowl made my day! Love you Berta!! Yep still laughing🤣🤣
You know, Evan forgot to take that out of the video. I thought he was trying to add another blooper. But, nope, he just forgot and showed another side of Berta Jay to all our viewers.
Honestly, Savannah, I couldn't let that sweet pineapple go to waste or dirty a glass to drink it. That bowl seemed like the perfect "glass" to me at the time.
Truly, I am humbled but laughing all the while.
😆🤣😁
It was beautiful, just let us all see you are just like us!🥰 I would have drank it too!😎
@@savannahv1808 Hahahaha, thanks so much girlfriend 😎🥰
I love you!!
As I do you, Penney. Thanks for the encouragement. Glad to have you as a Trouper. 😊
Thanks Berta Jay :)
You're so welcome, A. This is such a simple tip that really works. I do hope you will give it a try.
I appreciate your comment. 😀
Also, love your wonderful caricature! Just thought I'd let you know that. 🙂
🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
I love to fry sliced pineapple. Mmmm. Also love Pineapple and rice. It's also great in a homemade salsa blend of black beans, sweet corn, pimentos, diced bell pepper and pineapple. Nothing more better for a sweet desert is a fresh pineapple. Love your wonderful channel so much Berta. Love Tamson 🙋♥️😇
Thanks so much, Tamson. Have a wonderful day.
I couldn't believe it myself when I discovered you could freeze pineapple. So, I tried it...it worked...so I just had to share it. I am so glad I did. Many have been blessed by this simple effective technique.
😊🍍🧡
@@bertajay I'm so glad you enjoyed. Maybe you could do a pineapple ice cream on a video. That would be neat. I have a Vitamix I do mine in. Yum 😋 Yum 😋 Yum. Love Tamson ♥️🙋 😇
@@tamsondarland8951 You may see it sooner than you think. Thanks, my friend. 🍦🍍
@@bertajay God Bless You Beets. Love Tamson❤😇🙋
Your Absolutely Wonderful Berta. What a Fantastic Idea. I love love pineapple. Could also blend the frozen pineapple up into a pineapple ice cream. Add some frozen Pineapple cubes and some almond milk in blender until smooth and creamy like ice cream. Yummy 😋♥️. Mmmmmm. Love you Berta. Love Tamson 🙋♥️😇
Such a great ides. Tamson. I will try it and let you know what happens. Bless you, dear one. 🥰
@@bertajay God Bless You Berta. Your So Sweet 😇♥️♥️
Love Tamson ♥️🙋 😇
Wait what about the bromelein!!

She reminds me of my grandma
I am so glad to hear that, Beautiful. I pray your grandma was a kind person who cared about you very much. I do love and care greatly about my grandchildren. 😊

Nice hearing from your gang, Beth. I have to agree that pineapple is so delicious in smoothies.
