Bountiful Pears

Posted By on August 29, 2009

One of my clients asked if I wanted some pears the other day. “Heck yeah”, I think was my response. She wanted the boys and I to come and pick her small pear tree. She told me that she lost a limb already due to a storm.

So we went over Thursday morning with a couple of buckets. When we got there it was just loaded with pears! One of the limbs was supported by a ladder and a two by four. Well, after we finished picking we ended up close to 25 gallons of them!

Yesterday I decided to try a recipe that I found on the internet, Pear Honey. It had to cook for a long time but the title is no lie. It does taste like honey with a hint of pear. Kind of like orange blossom honey, a hint of orange.

I am so pleased with this recipe. I can’t wait to make more. The author of the recipe told me to add a maraschino cherry to the jar to add a blush to it. Very clever. A treasure in every jar.

Don’t you wish you had one of these jewels? Drop me a line.

 

 

 

Y’all come back now!

About the author

I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years. We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden. We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well. I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
