Notes
Once you buy a pineapple, you should keep it on the counter for 2-3 days and then cut it. Don't let it stay on the counter for more than 3 days, it will likely go bad and rot. Unlike most fruit that you can bring home and it will continue to ripen, a pineapple won't get much sweeter than when it was picked from the plant.
Once cut, place the pieces in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also add them to a mason jar and keep the mason jar in the refrigerator.
