I love apricots ~almost~ as much as peaches! That sounds very good!

At the old house the most prolific trees in my orchard were my pear trees. I know you don't like pears too much so you don't have to hear this as though I'm talking to you. :-) But, with all the work I did to make sure I *used* everything I grew I had to scramble sometimes to find new pear recipes. My absolute all time favorite was given to me by my uncle Lynn's mom. It's a preserve-like thing with pears, apricots, some pineapple and coconut! Seems like maybe pecans too... can't remember exactly. But, I have LOST the recipe!!! When I had all those pears given to me last fall I searched and searched for that and couldn't find it. I made a mental note to get it from Uncle Lynn's mom again... but if you recall she had a stroke that weekend when I got back from Entmoot and she is not remembering things too well herself yet so I still don't have it. Aunt Cheryl and I talked about me trying to get it again last week... but with Mrs.T. recovering from the stroke we didn't was her to get frustrated again over looking for it. We are thinkin' we'll turn it up one of these days. I wanna make some more of that stuff.

Everything sounds great except the coconut. I love the stuff, but it doesn't like me. I get all 'dwarfy' when I eat it. ;o)
