I've been peeling pears all afternoon and putting them up. I made a Pear Crisp out of some of them. It turned out really good.

My dear f-i-l planted the pear tree before he died. We are reaping the benefits. Lord, I miss that man!

That is one of my memories growing up, canning pears with my mother. 95 degree heat, pear juice up to my armpits, stickiness, and sneaking bites whenever she wasn't looking. I hated every moment of it, but I'm so glad she was persistent and taught us how to can and preserve food from the garden.
