Sunday…we picked pears
…and more pears
Monday… I taught sewing and thought about the pears.
Tuesday… I taught swimming and dreaded the pears.
Wednesday…we played with the Hortons and bought jars and sugar for the pears.
Thursday… I looked at the pears, weighed the pears (75 pounds) and began my assault on the pears.
Friday…I tackled a few more pears.
Saturday…we played with Charlie and I ignored the pears.
Sunday…I quit!!!! Yes, you do still see pears in the background (another 15 pounds or so).
75 Pounds of Pears = 12 quarts canned pears + 8 pints canned pears + 5 pints pear butter + 4 half-pints pear preserves + 1 pint pear preserves + 15 pounds left over pears
dibs on pear butter!!!!
I think I’ll use up those last “few” pears as pear butter. That way, Sarah, there’ll be plenty for your birthday and Christmas presents!! 🙂
