Eclectic Red Barn: Pineapple Crop

We started a pineapple garden a few years ago. The number of pineapples were slow at first and then they took off. This year I counted 57 pineapples - our best crop yet.

So when I was at our other house (where the pineapples are) I noticed that a few of them were starting to ripen and also that some animal was eating other ones.

Not all of the pineapples were as ripe as they should be but I picked some anyway. I have read that they will not ripen once picked but they are and the flavor is incredible. These pineapples are so yummy!

We picked 15 that were the closet to being ready. Now this was Saturday's haul because we had been eating pineapple all week.

I might freeze some pineapples - had never done that before and looking for pineapple recipes. I even thought of making pineapple jam.
