WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[urban dreamer]

I got two TRASH BAGS FULL of pears this week! So this weekend is devoted to canning. Pear Jelly, Pear Juice, Pear Pie, Pears in Syrup...can anyone think of anything eles?! Help! I've got PEARS!!!

 

[old fashioned]

How about a fruit cocktail or mix? I did some fruit cocktail of sorts since we use it for fruit salad & I hate having to buy if I can do it myself...pears, peaches, grapes, marachino cherries & some pineapple...or a mix of whatever you prefer?

Pear butter?

Have you tried pear halves? sliced pears? or pear chunks? Variety is always good...

Pearsauce~ Just like apple but pears. Good for you!! I love free food.

here's a tip for pealing....wait until they are super ripe . Cut the stem and flower end off, slice and put through a food mill. I just "pealed" a whole crate full of pears this way. I add a little lemon juice to the sauce and froze in premeaured amounts. I defrosted some the other day and made pear jam...came out perfect.

Did you need to cook them at all? I have a load of organic pears and want to make some sauce for my 2 baby nephews. It would be even better if I didn't need to cook them!

Pear Juice (Can you make Pear cider? )
Pear Jelly
Fruit Mix (Yummy idea!)
Sliced, diced and halves (in light syrup or water?)

No need to cook if they are super ripe. Just slice them up and squish through the mill.

Sliced, diced and halves (in light syrup or water?)

either? or? some of both??? ya never know when ya might find the need

And I've got peppers to make pepper jelly with too!!!

Maybe mix some pears & peppers together in that jelly? Or even pickled pears & peppers?

Got a dehydrator??? How about some pear leather or even some slices or pieces to add to trail mix, yogurt, ice cream, granola, cereal, etc


I will say I haven't tried many of these.....just throwing out ideas

VickiLynn, have you had good experiences with the Tattler lids?

I found 4 more gallon bags of blackberries in the freezer last night
