      So glad to see someone else say this. When you let a pineapple ripen until it is almost yellow with just a a touch of green - yellow almost all the way it’s delicious. It will also depend on when picked, how shipped, etc but those are things you won’t know so you just have to check them. The core will be soft and just as good as the rest of the pineapple. Now if it isn’t ripe it will be tough so each and every pineapple will be different. And sometimes the top or bottom of the core will be soft and the other end or side tough and woody. You just have to check it. If it tastes good why would you throw it away.
      If it’s ripe it is a crime to throw it away especially if using for banana nut and pineapple bread. I freeze my older bananas - those that have gotten a little soft for my cereal. I put them in a big freezer bag - skin and all. When I have almost enough collected to make the amount needed in cups of mashed bananas, I buy my pineapple and let it finish ripening on the counter. As it ripens, your house will begin to smell like pineapple. That and the almost all yellow coloring on the outside let’s you know you are ripe and have the best chance for a good core too. You will learn after a few times, how ripe you like and where the “sweet” spot is. I like just a small amount of green still left - you don’t want a rotten pineapple just very ripe. Once the pineapple is ready, I pull the bananas from the freeze the night before I make the bread. .Also great and recommended way to use for homemade ice cream. Putting in the freezer turns the skin black, when you take them out of freezer, set the bag in a big bowl and let thaw in the frig. which doesn’t take long. DO NOT THAW ON THE COUNTER. When you peel them, you will find the inside is still yellow and fairly firm but the texture is different which is why they work better for homemade ice cream. Please do not panic because the skin is black...the inside won’t be. As soon as thawed, Peel, mash and use immediately while the flesh is still yellow. Sometimes for my bread, I use half fresh of the counter (still yellow skin with a few black specks but firm) and half frozen ones. I find It gives the best flavor and texture. You will have to try it for yourself.
      Note for all of you who don’t like pears because they are too hard, bitter etc - pears like peaches, and pineapple need to ripen. All commercial pears are picked ripe and must be ripened on the counter after purchase. If you have never had yellow, sweet, juicy tree ripened pears, you have missed the whole point of pears. They aren’t meant to be crisp like apples - there is no pear flavor at that stage. After carefully washing and drying, I put mine in a large fruit bowl and let them sit until they yellow. May take several days but be patient. They will ripen and get softer and smell like pears are suppose to smell. The sugar content goes way up. It’s the same with peaches. But you can ripen to the stage you like and then bake, grill, or pan brown - they are a treat. Just eat fresh, or peel, cut in half or slices, brown in butter or grill as a side dish. Or use other ripe fruit and brown in butter (pineapple, peaches, pears, plums, yellow but still firm bananas(no spots yet), etc, with vanilla extract, and add honey at the last moment. Even add some favorite tasting rum or bourbon, flame to burn off liquor if children or those who should have due to health or medications. The flavor is retained but the alcohol gone. Then you can layer the fruit and juice over your favorite pound cake with a dollop of whipped cream.
      If you are already grilling, lightly grill the fruit first let it pick up hardwood smoke and then slice into pan finishing the browning and softening. Or you can grill off to how you like it, and make a brown butter sauce, slice the already grilled fruit into the sauce and warm right before serving over the cake. In fact, sprinkle with fresh but lightly toasted pecans and you really have a treat. Or almonds, English walnuts - your favorite nut. I just think pecans have a warm buttery flavor that goes with the brown butter sauce and the sweetness of the fruit. And toasting brings that buttery nutty flavor out of the pecans or any but really.

      @@plips71755 ... My Man!! (for fruity fruits). I treat my bananas the same way almost like you do - I freeze the over-ripe bananas for my smoothies (puts the "sweet" in it), but not in the skin (I have no specific reason). Also, when the pineapple begins to ripen (love the scent), I turn it upside down, after discarding the "leafy part" (crown?). The ripeness travels down the fruit to the top. This way, the pineapple will ripen evenly. YES! I am a pineapple lover!! Thanks for your "education".

    I love pineapple, but I’ve never had it in chow. This looks absolutely delicious. This is on my to do list. I also save the skin to make a drink. The core of the pineapple is very rich in bromelain… it’s loaded with health benefits. I never throw that away. Heat destroys the healthy enzymes in the core. My family and friends used to throw that away also, until they learn of it’s health benefits. Aside from this. I will definitely be making your pineapple chow. Hope it tastes as good as yours.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
