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.

Canning Pears!

 Well, since my peaches canning went well, I decided to try and can some pears. Basically, the reasoning behind that is because there are no more peaches, but there were plenty of pears. So I followed this recipe:

So if you want to do this also, try there. And then when finished...

Let me tell you about canning pears. 

This sucked. 

Peeling these pears took 100 years, and I did like, 8 lbs of pears and only came away with 5 jars. Will I ever do these pears again? Probably not tbh. But hey, I did it this once. And I still have 8 lbs of pears, so I gotta figure out something to do with them.
