I did some pear preserves this evening. A man in our church said he remembered his mother making them (he’s gotta be pushing 80 now, this man). That’s all I needed to hear. He didn’t have to ask me. If 6 jars of canned pears bring back memories of his mother for him, I’ll gladly bless him with jars of pear preserves. He doesn’t know I’m bringing them Wednesday to church. His wife knows though. 😇
Great timing!! A neighbor just gave us a bag of pears and my husband said he was going to maybe try canning some! Thanks for posting this at such a perfect time, hopefully ours will turn out as good as yours!!
Hi Toni - those are lovely pears and peppers that you bought. We used to have a pear tree in our yard - yellow pears - I really miss climbing trees to pick them - it was such a treat.
nice. my neighbor us to have a cherry tree that overhung our property, so we were able to pick delicious cherries in season. they always taste better picked fresh...I miss that too!
Beautiful pears Toni. We had a bumper crop of red and green peppers this year so we made up our stuffed peppers for over the winter. Thankfully the Extra Lean ground beef went back down in price. $3.99 lb. We purchased some yellow ones to include in our stir fry and shrimp bags for a glorious color mix. Finished my bushel of tomatoes and only 1 jar didn't seal after processing. Just waiting on our second bean crop, squash, and zucchini for autumn soup. Then, of course its the beets n carrots. I'm a little pooped so took a day off yesterday and did some baking for a change. Time to focus on a few quilt bindings and finish off a few Christmas gifts before I go at it again. Take care.
same as the peaches, when there is still air left in the fruit (or vegetable) and you can them they can float in the jar...peaches seem to be the worst culprit for that.
Im wondering why you like them unripened? Because theyre easier to peel? Do they still come out with good pear flavor? I just picked my pears and am trying to decide to ripen or not
Would you believe me that I just can't find any pears near me! It is one thing I desperately wanted to can because my husband really enjoys pears through the winter and buying canned ones at the super market it's pricey now....I'm in Southwestern Ontario if anyone reads this and can spare some pears for selling at a fair price pls, let me know.😁

That is so awesome...God bless you!!!!
My daughter and myself have full access to our neighbors pear tree, and it's LOADED! We will be canning in about a week!
that is wonderful...If I had access to a tree, I would definitely be canning up a storm too!
Turned out so pretty! 😊👍
Thank you! 😊

I'm sure they will!
Toni, you always make it look so easy. Thank you again.
You are so welcome!
Beautiful pears!
Many thanks!
I canned pears and pear butter last week. I have about 18 small pears ripening in my spare room to can another batch
I hope you made pear vinegar with the cores. So good.
I like how you use your potato masher to hold your rings, mine are just thrown in a basket.
I use the the potato masher to hang the rings to dry after washing them...it works great.
You are a delight to watch, thank you so much.
Thank You!

Linda I would be pooped after all that too...ah, quilt bindings...a finished quilt!!!
Thank you
You're welcome
I canned some spiced pears yesterday. One jar did not pop. So I ate it with some ice cream. It was delicious! What do you mean by floaters?
same as the peaches, when there is still air left in the fruit (or vegetable) and you can them they can float in the jar...peaches seem to be the worst culprit for that.
They look really good
Thank you!
Last year i made your fruit cocktail recipe, my son is expecting now😂 thank you.
Beautiful pears
Thank you!
Why are using peach sryup? Want that flavor?
no, I'm using a "light syrup" for both the peaches and pears....made using sugar and water!
@@HerHomesteadSkills sorry I misunderstood. Thank you
Hi Tony great pears! Love how you stored your green bell peppers. How long can bell peppers last in the freezer?❤
well we used the last of them from last year, so that's why I decided to freeze more!
What is a good recipe of simple syrup for at least 2 qts of product for peaches?😊
for peaches a light syrup is recommended..that would be a 20% sugar to water ratio..you can also use less sugar if you want too!
Im wondering why you like them unripened? Because theyre easier to peel? Do they still come out with good pear flavor? I just picked my pears and am trying to decide to ripen or not
not unripened, but still firm..and definitely easier to work with, and yes they still have great flavor!
How long can freeze the green peppers?
much the same as any other frozen vegetable!
What is wrong with floaters? What does that mean?
nothing wrong, tastes just as good..it's just not as aesthetically pleasing.
Ah man I should have waited 1 day to make my comment about canning pears!!!
lol!!!

I love pears but they are so expensive here in United States fresh or canned doesn’t matter!
