The cannery announced that they were selling pears and apples - cheap! They had too many. I sent Terry out and he came home with 71 pounds of pears. He wasn't able to get close to the apples. Apparently the Mormon moms weren't acting in a humble Christian way. They were grabby, forceful, and scary. I was glad I wasn't there, and I was happy with just pears.
We gave away sacks and sacks of pears to friends and relatives. They were ripe, and so sweet! I ate about 6 a day. I couldn't get through all 71 pounds though - too many. Something had to be done. Terry loves applesauce and got on line to find recipes for pear sauce. I ended up canning 8 pints. I'd never heard of pear sauce, but it's a yummy, healthy treat. I wish I had taken a picture of the bottles all filled up. They were very pretty.
