Can I Freeze Canned Pineapple?

By Staff WriterLast Updated December 08, 2023

Commercially canned pineapple in all forms, including crushed, chunks or rings, can be frozen for up to two months when stored at 0 F. Never freeze canned pineapple directly in the original can because it could rust or burst open and spoil.

To freeze pineapple chunks and rings, lay the pieces out separately on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, and freeze for one hour before transferring them to an airtight, freezer-safe container. Crushed pineapple can be frozen as is, in a freezer-safe container. It can also be made into cubes for slushies, shakes or sauces by pre-freezing it in ice cube trays before transferring the cubes to the freezer container.
