There are 5 pears left to eat "au naturel". I gave one of Ken's co-workers a dozen to eat. I processed---
- 20 pints pear butter
- 18 pints canned pears
- 10 pints spiced Christmas pears
- 22 pints/jelly jars pear/pineapple/orange/cranberry ginger jam
I'm sure I will give a lot of it away at Christmas time. The jam is especially good, and I look forward to making some homemade bread to eat it on. And sorry you purists, I do like to apple or pear butter with my grits!
My pans are almost all washed, the electric roaster is soaking. I think a long soak in the tub for me is due!

Absolutely! Then you can rub in a little of Bath and Body Works' Pearberry lotion.
(ducking)
Wow!! I have not canned in several years and that sounds like a lot of deliciously hard work!! My friend at work cans and her grandson was out to eat with them. She said she was canning and he said "grandma what's canning?" She couldn't believe he never hear of it at age 10. Food comes from the store, I guess.
BTW, 70 yard of fabric on sale what a find!!!!! I would have purchased tons myself. Take care.
I hear you about the clean-up after a canning spree! It can be messy and time-consuming, but canning is so rewarding.
i know your kitchen smells absolutely wonderful. so proud of you for doing all that yummy work.
I think apple or pear butter would be the only thing that would make grits bearable. Blearrgh!
you made spiced pears??
spiced pears????
I might just head north for real spiced pears......
