Pineapple

My GD says pineapple makes her lips tingle and swell , so does not eat any now

Anyone know if you can freeze left-over tinned pineapple too? I often open a tin and use some, put the rest in the fridge and forget to use it up. Such a waste.

I'm so surprised at all these replies! Never thought pineapple had so many qualities.
I'ved used pineapple and juice in a sweet/sour sauce with sugar and cider vinegar. To pour over deep-fried chicken in batter
I think pineapple juice can be used with flour for a sourdough starter. If you make bread. Never tried it yet - I'm too impatient.

Fresh pineapple apparently has enzymes which can cause a mild allergic reaction - therefore the mouth tingle, the enzymes are affected by the canning process which uses heat or by cooking, you are less likely to get a reaction from either of these forms.

Yes you can freeze tinned pineapple. I just put it in little containers ready for when I need a pizza topping or in a salsa type salad etc.

Yes, the tingling in the mouth has happened to me too on occasion. Don’t know why though.

I've heard , too, that it's enzymes that give you the tingling sensation. I think it's the same with kiwis. If you're making something that has to set with them, you have to use agar agar instead of gelatine.

I have a recipe in my trusty Good Housekeeping cookery book for a sweet and sour sauce. I usually freeze half of it because the amount are quite large. I'm attaching a picture, because I cba to type it up!

That looks similar to the recipe I used Jacky.

Sorry it's sideways on. I'm sure you can use fresh pineapple as well. I just chuck all the ingredients in the blender and give them a whirl, then pour them into a saucepan and stir till boiling.

If anyone is still interested in pineapple, there’s a good recipe on bbc good food by Jack Monroe called sunshine oats. I’ve just made this and it’s delicious. I had a pineapple to use up and so I made this, hope it helps.
