Oh my goodness, the d'anjou pear tree is producing. Not as heavy as in the past, but plenty for 2 people.
I am canning this weekend. Plain pears in syrup, and a few brandied.
Pear Crisp, pear cake and baked pears.
I have spiced pear butter on the shelves.
Taking a bushel to family out of state Sunday.
Anyone have a suggestion for other pear recipies?

I like pears used like apples in a fresh pie or cobbler. These can be made ahead of time and frozen....baked when you want it. Pear honey is wonderful:)

Have you tried dehydrating or drying pears?

We've got pears too! The asian pears filled a whole garbage bag full and the other pear tree (not sure of the name) we picked a couple last night but I thought it was sour, so not sure if it was ripe yet.

My mother used to can pears, and I SO loved them in the winter - the taste of fresh pears! YUM!
