Today's Project: Pears

The pears are getting ripe. I collected a bucketful today. My partner Doug helped me peel them and chunk them up. I sprinkled them with sugar and lemon juice. They are now simmering in a very large pot, with some apple cider and a few tablespoonfuls of shredded ginger root. The whole house smells like cider and pears. Murrr. After they are soft, I'll put them in plastic containers and freeze for later use in pies and such.

This isn't really a recipe. This is, "Wow, there are a lot of ripe pears. I should do something with them." But it smells good so far!

Uummm. Toss in a bit of brown sugar, some cinnimon, clove and some mace [I'm a mace fan]. Slow simmer it down until it's really thick.

Pear butter. :}

I'm planning to do the next batch with Saigon cinnamon, yes. This first batch was ginger.

I made a fruit soup a few times. Spiced apple cider with chopped up fruit heated to perfection. Yummy!
