Love your quote ! A country girl I am too !
You can make pear sauce -- just like applesauce
Pear butter
Pear Pie -- I use my apple pie recipe
Canned pears
Pear cookies - well not really its a think pie. Roll out pie crust and line a small 11 x 7 pan with the crust and make pie filling(like apple pie) and make another crust for the top and bake. My kids loved this for a snack. Easier than pie to have on the go.
