Ok, Just finished canning 6 jars of pear preserves, and 5 jars of pear jelly. Tried some on a buttered biscuit this morning and was great. Next i"m waiting on the Musquedines to get ripe to do them.

You know, there's an old saying, Miss Sally. There's no law west of the Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chism? James Pepper
Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there. John Simpson Chism
Pear preserves sound great! What is a Musquedine?
Short answer is a grape.
Great job on the pears.
My trees didnt do so hot this year.
The asian pear did the best.
Love pear jelly!

Squirrels also taste great on biscuits
Wow, gunshot! You really know how to make a feller HONGRY!!! When I was a kid, we had a number of pear trees, and when the neighbors and friends got all they wanted, and my brother and I sat out (dodging the yellow jackets while doing so!) and ate pears that fell on the ground, we'd pick the rest up and take them to the local pear buyers for "Christmas money." I'll forever have a soft spot in my heart for pear cobbler!!! Absolute heaven, and with some vanilla ice cream on top, just Royal Heaven! How great we had it as kids, and we just thought it was a given!
I'm with you on the squirrel's. Pressure cook them booger's and get after it. Thanks for the compliments. I did blackberry, figs, and some plums this year.

Make 100 proof Peary. Why waste on jelly?
We are just finishing our huge crop of peaches and the pears will probably be ready next week.
My entire childhood, we would pick and eat pears from my grandparents' land. My mom now lives there and this year we picked A BUNCH of pears. We'll end up giving away about 3/4 of them to neighbors, friends, and co-workers. We've so far just been eating them as they ripen (peeling/coring), which means we're eating about 10-20 pears per day. My older 2 are starting to get tired of them, but my 8 yo daughter would eat them as long as I'm willing to cut them up for her. They sure get sweet when they ripen!
One thing that really cut down on the wasps and hornets is the fact that my mom has a couple of miniature horses that eat most of the pears that fall on the ground. I'm much less nervous up on that ladder this year than in previous years.
