Tennessee Pear Pie

[sundog]

The recipe is on castpics.

First ever crop of pears from these trees have been in for a few days. Two trees of Moon Glow and two trees of Keifer. Keifer did not make this year - blooms and a few fruit that the frost got. Moon Glow yielded about 3 dozen, some of which were pretty badly battered by this year's many hail storms but went ahead and ripened. Many were very nice though. Anyway, granddaughter helped me peel and prep enough for 3 pies. They are on the stove simmering as we speak.

We ate a couple while we were peeling and cutting. Su-weeeet, and really joooooo-ceeee! Run down yer chin kinda juicy!

Pie and ice cream for dessert tonight! After my world famous 5 bean chili.

Got a few small ones left in the basket for eating, or maybe some pear sauce.

Testimonial: if you have never had pear pie, you have NO IDEA what you are missing. You think nothing could beat Mama's apple pie? Huh?

Keifer pears are hard until after christmas usually. We used to pick them when they were hard as baseballs and wrap them in newspaper to eat or cook with in January or after. They were never sweet and juicy. Best of luck with them though.

Daughter and her family just left. It was good. Moon Glow is a good cooking pear, but if carefully selected, some of them are really good eaters. Like the two we had this afternoon while prepping.

The pie was outstanding! I'll have another piece for breakfast, and maybe a small piece for lunch, and another for dessert after supper tomorrow. SIL and GD both took pieces for tomorrow.

Yeah, Keifer is a late variety. They'll be good for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pear sauce and jelly.

We used Splenda in place of the sugar, and I cannot tell the difference.

Finally got around to trying this one. It was excellent. I think the pears work better than apples, and that's saying alot.
