Time for some jam

 Okay, so, I figured out what to do with the pears. Pear Jam. Let me tell you why I chose this. You don't have to peel the pears, so this wins with me, hands down. Here's the recipe, should you be inclined:

So this recipe was actually pretty great and I loved it, and it tastes so good! I ended up putting a couple of jars into ready for now jars (so I can eat right away) and then rest I ended up canning for future use. 

It ended up making about 9 small jars, and 2 small Tupperware's. So I think I might give these as gifts ... probably, and someone will end up with some awesome jam. 

Neighbor Jam

For Card Swap in November, we each give a neighbor gift idea for Christmas. For this year, I chose a pretty easy one that I found on Pinterest. I thought I had saved the pin to share it here, but then when I went to my boards, I couldn't find it, alas. Sorry friends. But here it is!

I just love how cute and simple this is, that's my favorite thing about neighbor gifts since we tend to end up giving out many more than we originally planned with.
