PEARS

What did you do with all of your pears?


Here are a few ideas that others did this past week.

First of all the obvious (well besides just taking it in your hand and eating it.)
I bottled some.
 Nothing better then seeing your shelves lined with bottles like these!

 Then of course you have your dehydrated variety.
The grand kids loved these!
If you want them to eat more fruit and less junk, then use your dehydrator.
They will eat them up!

My son and his wife thought using the apple slicer would be a smart idea. It really sped things up too. They held the one part that takes the skin off (since it is shaped for apples, it tended to take too much of the fruit off.). That way it just cut it up and cored it for them
Super fast way to get them ready for the dehydrator.
They dipped the cut pears in pineapple juice then set the dehydrator on and went to bed!

 Then my daughter and her husband really thought outside the box with this one.
Cameron pulled out his meat slicer and just sliced up the pears whole. It made perfectly uniform slices.

 There were a few of the slices that had the harder corn center to them so he made use of a piece of PVC pipe that was the perfect size to punch out the unwanted center.

 See her are a few of those that had the centers punched out.
Ingenious don't you think!

 Look here what Andrea made with some of her pears.
All she did was google, what to make with pears and came up with a recipe for pear bundt cake.
It was SO good!

 Of course you can't forget the natural way to enjoy your pears.
Just eat them.
That's what they will do with the few that are left.
You can always cut some up and freeze them and use later in the blender as a frozen fruit drink...or mash it up for baby food.

ENDLESS ideas. How will you use your abundance?

 

Don't forget Apples are on their way this weekend.
