Easy Innovation You Can Use When Freezing Fruit


Hey, innovation fans, thought I’d share with you a simple innovation you can use if you like to freeze fruit. I found some delicious pineapples on sale at Aldi for 99 cents and bought several. Chopped them up into nice pieces and froze them. Challenge is, they stick together and form a solid frozen mass. Commercial frozen fruit can be agitated or separated during freezing to prevent welding of pieces together, but how can a consumer do it? I bet this is already out there, but a handy solution I came up with is to coat the fruit with a little corn syrup before freezing. Depending on how cold your freezer is, the fruit may still become welded together, but it’s much easier to loosen the mass into individual pieces.

Just enjoyed a delicious chunk of frozen pineapple, courtesy of my corn-syrup pretreatment method. OK, not much of an innovation, but still, enjoy!
