Not sure about freezing, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along.

As to eating it, we used to just take the skin off (slice it off like an apple), remove the seeds, and have it chopped up, just by itself, or mixed with other fruit in a fruit salad.

Just by itself, its perfect with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.

Be aware that it is very "loosening" for the kids and can give little ones quite a sore, red bum sometimes.

Other than that, enjoy - tropical fruit is one of the great beauties of living in Queensland. My favourites are the Ruby Reds - much sweeter than the bigger, more yellowy fleshed ones.
