Okay, the following is going to sound flat out crazy. It was weird, but I totally brought that upon myself.  
The pineapple was still in its little prep bowl, and kind of dry, as I had squeezed all the liquid out with cheese cloth when I was making the cheese ball. Bearing in mind **Contrapuntal** ’s offered recipe for the Grey Breeze, I took the cranberry juice cocktail out of the fridge. Luck! It’s cranberry-lime juice cocktail. Now, I’m even closer to the recipe. I poured some in the bowl, and the pineapple smush immediately soaked it all up, and turned magenta, so I poured a little more. That got absorbed, too, so I gave up and added a couple of ounces of vodka. That rendered it vaguely the consistency of oatmeal, still magenta, and smelling like vodka.  
I got some ice out of the freezer, looked at the blender, and then fixed myself a diet soda, and proceeded to eat the goo with a spoon directly from the prep bowl. Mainly because I don’t feel like washing the blender.

It’s surprisingly tasty, **Campion**.

Well, it’s good that the pineapple wasn’t wasted … although you may well be wasted from it.

Yes, pineapple can be frozen. I freeze the leftover pineapple (mine was remaining from the carrot cake I made last weekend) in a plastic zip-top baggie. I’ll use it (frozen) for fruit smoothies. (Orange juice, frozen pineapple or whatever other fruits are frozen, probably a small continer of yogurt or maybe not, couple of ice-cubes and blend.)
