Pears, pears and more pears!

A lady in our neighborhood has about 50 or so pear trees in her yard, she has been trying to give them away for weeks. I got 2ish bushels of them at the beginning of the week and gave half away, I then decided to pick some more. I think I got 3 bushels this time, oops. I have already canned 20 qts and 7 pints of the pears and am maybe halfway done. Good thing we love pears.

I'm thinking of drying some pears too, we'll see. I may just drive a few blocks away and drop a bag off on random door steps, haha j/k. L's piano teacher said she'd love some, I may take her up on that ;)

Have you tried pear sauce? You make it just like you would apple sauce. My kids love it.

ooohhh...pear sauce sounds good! I love canned pears! (but I'm allergic to fresh pears. Go figure) Too bad I don't live closer!

QueenMeadow said...

Yes, definitely too bad! I could give you tons of pears. I don't think they'd ship well though, lol.

Thanks Lei, I'll look into putting a link in my profile.

musicalmom, if I end up with more pears I may just do that ;). Or call you next year and tell you to come get some, your IL's should know the people I get mine from.
