Help

I just went out and counted 21 bunches in various stages of production , I can only eat, freeze for smoothies and give away so many..
My Ice cream is the culprit it is in banana overdrive as I have a large clump with 11 bunches in various stages , I have never seen this many and November is when IC seems to like to fruit for me .

Im happy as I was trying to cut down the clumps to a manageable size but this is crazy ...

I also have 15 pineapples although I freeze them for use thru out the year ..

What do you do with your excess fruit ?

You can sell to local stores or in your home...

If you are not interested in selling, there are charities that would love the fruit. During the summer months I usually have more than I can sell, so I donate them to a charitable organization that feeds people every day. They are usually extremely happy when I come.

Dry the bananas. Banana chips are great! Pineapples make great jam or juice. What kind of pineapple is it?

When I have too many bananas here in the lower Keys, I trade them for produce at the local organic produce store on Big Pine Key. :nanadrink:

There is a small asian store that is interested , , the food bank near work just want packaged Items, I found a church that distributes food close by that will take them. I am thinking about display a bunch for sale in front of my house and see if they get stolen...LOL ..

Jp they are just store bought pineapples I can freeze them for later
