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.
ReplyDeleteI haven't but I'm thinking about it. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteooohhh...pear sauce sounds good! I love canned pears! (but I'm allergic to fresh pears. Go figure) Too bad I don't live closer!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely too bad! I could give you tons of pears. I don't think they'd ship well though, lol.
ReplyDeleteoh! pears are an absolute favorite around here! lucky!
ReplyDeleteand sorry i haven't responded in a while - i misplaced your blog address and you don't have a link in your profile!
ReplyDeleteMake a long drive out to me and leave them here! :P
ReplyDeleteThanks Lei, I'll look into putting a link in my profile.
ReplyDeletemusicalmom, 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.
