EJ,

Why do you trim it all at once? To store most things, you want to
minimize the contact with air. Leave the pineapple as whole as
possible for as long as possible and the skin will be a natural
covering to preserve it. So cut what you need, cover the open part
with a piece of plastic wrap, and put in the fridge.

Hope this helps,

Ken
