Someone gave me some pears the other day; my husband said I should make some pear relish like his mother used to do. (She died in 1995; hubby is 65) I said recipe went out the door with other relatives. Such a coincidence that your recipe would show up in a very unlikely spot, especially after we discussed it & especially since I very rarely even glance at the recipe section. Who would think to look at a quilt site for recipes? Everything happens for a reason!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe; I can hardly wait to try it.
