Granny says "Virginia is going to grow up and make somebody a good wife". I said "if she grows up to be like you I know she will". Granny said "I think she is being raised up right". Me, "yeah. I think so too". Those pears look good! Thanks for sharing Justin.
Thank you Nelse for sharing this with me ❤️
Canning pears and making memories. The memories are more valuable than the fruit. My "Mamaw" and I sat on the back steps washing and cutting up tomatoes until Riga Mortis set in on our behinds. She smelled every one of those tomatoes to make sure there was no rot in any piece. That was in the 1960s. Your video brought back wonderful memories. As a kid my pears won a blue ribbon at the county fair and my green beans won a blue ribbon at the Indiana State Fair, but I still learned from you showing your mother's techniques. Wish I could have known her. Thank you for sharing what she taught you. Peg in Florida
Aw thank you so much for sharing this with us Peg! I loved it. ❤️
I love your pare video cant wait till you make pare butter
SPEAKINK.ABOUT DIFFERENT THANG last year at black walnut festvial i ran out of pecan and i had some walnuts so i made a walnut pie and a man came up gave me 15 dollars and ate the whole thang
The soft one will make good pare butter
Thank you for sharing this with us
My Mama didn't cook the pairs before canning. She just filled the jars and poured the syrup over them and them water bathed them. I love the little 'truth bombs ' you slip in while you're chattin. Lots might miss them, but maybe someone will hear and listen and learn.
Aw thank you🙂
Boy that peeler really speeds up process. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
Glad you enjoyed
Pear jam.pear juice.pear sauce.canned for cobbler...and pear butter. God bless those old trees 😊
Amen ❤️
Justro the preservation of food is mighty important always has been but maybe even more so now with things that are coming.
But just as important I think are the memories that you are making with your girls. You made the comment about being five and reaching in the bowl as momma made them that's wonderful now and your girls are getting that same memories. Because like you said at the end momma wasn't here to ask. Make em while you can. Thanks for sharing them with us. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
That is for sure. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you as well
Love that wooden spoon!! Awesome team work too!
Thank you Vanessa 🙂
Robert says Great job. You and Virginia made a great team. They look delicious. You can give your bottom a rest. Love Uns Happy Happy. You have a big heart. Thank you
Aw thank you! Ha ha!
Love uns too🙂❤️
We are very blissed with you showing us vital information.
I am glad. I hope that it helps in some way
If I had a helper like Virginia I’d do a lot more canin, she’s awesome!
She is a jewel ❤️
I love the old Tupperware bowl. My mom had the same one when I was growing up!
You’re right about the coffee break. I have a cup every afternoon at 4:30. It resets my day!! Great job Virginia staying right beside your dad’s side. Now you know 😊
Oh that’s great Wendy! We usually do it around 3. I will pass it along🙂❤️
Thanks Wendy
@@metcalfmills5679 You’re so welcome Justro!!
You are so funny. Don't be stingy with the apple butter or you'll be eating it alone. LOL LOL That Pealer is the most awesome one I've ever seen..I Love home made hominy. Virgina is a wonderful helper!!!! Your chickens are gonna be some Very Happy Chickens! Thank You for this video! I Always look forward to your videos! Love You Bunches! You are a True Blessing! Brenda Wichita, KS
Thank you Brenda! I am glad that you enjoy them. Love you all as well and all of you are a blessing to us ❤️
If you’ve got some fruit that needs to ripen you can put them in a paper bag folded over to trap the natural gasses that speed up the ripening, I use this method for my green tomatoes if I’m in a hurry to make a samich 😂
Thank you for sharing this with us!
That's alot of hard work in the summer...but it will be worth it this winter when you all enjoy those beautiful canned pears.
Great job!!!
I enjoyed your video.
Yes it is! Thank you Maria. Glad you enjoy
You & Virginia did a great job. Makes my mouth water. Thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed, Beth!
I really enjoy watching your videos Justro, thanks for all the extra work you do putting together these great videos!
Thank you, I am glad that you enjoy
Some ppl think our sand pears are too hard to fool with. But can't never did do nothing. When I was growing up in the 70's we lived about 22 miles from town. When us kids got sick stomach about the only treatment we had was pear juice, peach or blackberry. We all lived into our 60's now guess it worked pretty good.
Thank you for sharing this with us
Looks like you’re gonna have some happy chicken’s after cleanin up all those apples and pears, lots of scraps for them to feast on! The pigs lovem too!
That is for sure! They had a big time!!
Cook the soft ones down and make pear butter. Pear jelly from the peals. I'm in the coastal region my peaches always fall off before they get a chance to get very big ,and my apples get ceder rust, the plums always bloom to early and a late frost takes them out ,so my pears are all that usually make.
Thank you for sharing this with us
You've got a lovely pear harvest. I too get worms sometimes. I find planting garlic around the base of my trees does help reduce boring insects in fruits
Thank you for sharing this with us!
I enjoyed your Sunday pear canning video. This year will be my first time canning 🍐 pears. I got 2 (5 gallon ) buckets so far. Thank you for your help and confidence.
🌸😊🌸
I hope it does good for you!❤️
That’s me I take pride in my canning anything I cook
Yes, have to!
I had peaches that all turned too soft and had to make peach butter. Canning for the winter is so exhausting and hot but during winter it sure is worth it!
Yes it sure is!
Do you mind sharing your peach butter recipe? Ive been tryin to find a good one! -Ash
I am canning pears tonight, and they stayed very nice with your salt water advice. Thank you so much. Blessings to you all!
Glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing
That peeler is incredible.
It is a blessing
Thanks for the video, learned some. We canned pears last week, do it a little different but that's ok. They're all good.
Well can you share? Thanks Ron
Great video! Your canned pears are beautiful and look delicious 😊
Thank you 🙂
i got an old sweet corn cutter made good like your peeler from the ruins of the Wayne County Poor Farm.. its a jewel also
Oh boy that’s nice
Thank you for the details in canning. Our trees haven't produced yet because they are still young, but my friend always blesses us with enough to can.
That’s good🙂
My hubby and I are waiting for an Asian pear tree to produce. Yesterday, at the store, they wanted $5 for just ONE!
They're real good on a salad I use a butter head lettuce with a light champagne dressing and goat cheese or blue cheese and walnuts or pecans. It's a recipe for special occasions.
Justro did your momma ever make pear preserves? The kind we make in our area involves leaving them out overnight in the pot. This is done so the DO oxidize and get that pink/rosy color. Haven't made them in years but once peeled you put them in the pot dry and sprinkle the sugar over them. Let them set then go on with cooking and canning them up.
Very interesting. Thank you
I’ll be looking forward to seeing your squash pie you spoke of, I love squash and like learning new way to prepare it!
Thank you, it will be the first time for me on that. But I will share!
Enjoyed canning pears with you and Miss Virginia!! Making precious memories Justro !🙏🏻
Yes, thank you🙂❤️
You can make a very good hard cider from pear juice. It's called Perry and way back it was preferred to apple cider in early USA.
I
Thank you for sharing
We love canned pears and a Pear cobbler. I find it interesting the difference in times fruit gets ripe in NW Alabama compared to up your way. Idk if it is because we are in a colder spot of our State and the way the jet stream flows during the winter but our apples and pears don't ripen til about the middle of September. Peaches are usually ready about the middle of June. Maybe it is just the type we have in our area that's different. Idk.. either way I enjoyed the video. My momma taught me how to can pears about 5 years before she passed. Good memories.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Very interesting. ❤️
Those are some beautiful pears 🥰 And love your philosophy of coffee snack break! Blessings to y'all
It is a must! Thank you
Beautiful pears, Justro and Virginia! That old peeler is a cool time saver. Nice to see you using a kitchamajig, which is one of my favorite kitchen tools and an essential for my gravy making.
Thank you!
Isn't that the truth, when you get behind with the farm or garden you are always behind. I was stressing out about it last night after canning 24 quarts of grape juice and my husband said, "you do this every year, why do you grow so much!" Because it is worth the effort! Guess I am more of an ant than a grasshopper. Well back to the pears! Glad to know about the salt soak since I am low on fruit fresh.
Hope it helps!
I understand! 😆
A lovely reward I must say 💕
❤️
Justro' been enjoying all your vidio on yuztube thanks yall very much from down here in south Ga .
Hey! And thank you for letting me know! I appreciate you
Saw an apple peeler like yours for 700.00 on Ebay. That's something to hang on to.
Wow!
Really enjoyed this video I watched it while canning beans this afternoon
Thanks Danny!
Hey Justin...Looks really good! My daughter bought me an electric canner and it works wonderful... I canned 5 pints of BBQ sauce this morning while watching your video...pears is next on my list.
Oh really! That’s great!
I’d like to learn more about your electric canner. If you have a link I’d appreciate it.
@@Skashoon Hi and thanks for asking. This is a Ball electric water bath canner. It holds 8 pints and 7 quarts. Sorry I don't have a link but I'm assuming you can find it on their website. I noticed that it didn't heat up the kitchen as bad a regular water bath canners. If you need more info send me your email and I can send you a picture of the box it came in.
My momma and I always made a few jars of mint pears for upset tummies or a fancy dessert. Of course, most jars were plain, like yours. Just add 1 shot of peppermint schnapps and several drops of green food coloring to each pint. I find these pears settle my stomach as well as Pepto bismo. Or serve with a scoop of ice cream to guests after dinner.
Thank you for sharing this with us!
When making applesauce, I would always make some with pears. Apple & pear sauce to die for. Also, in canning pears, I've never pre-cooked them. It makes them turn into baby food when in the canning process. When preparing pears I would place in sink of cold water with lemon juice to prevent from browning.
Howdy Carolyn, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I always appreciate others sharing their ways of doing things. I would love to try your way next time. They were kind a middlin not too firm and not too soft. Thank you for watching!
Howdy Justro and Virginia- y’all did a mighty fine job with them pears. They gonna be good come winter time. My wife kinda fooled me one time making a pear pie taste just like her apple pies. I could tell the texture was a bit different but it sure was good. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Howdy brother, thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you all as well
TO EAT FRESH, I LIKE THE SOFE ONES. GOD BLESS YALL JUSTRO
Yes for sure!!!
Great job by you and Virginia.
Thank you Byron
If you have some hard pears, I was given an old Pear Relish recipe that was popular in TX.
15 crisp large pears
12 med bell peppers
12 med onions
3 med hot peppers
2 sm jars of mustard ( no longer considered safe canning... So use dry mustard and seeds and vinegar to make it without store additives... Or try 2 to 4 T of dry mustard/seed as a start?)
2 T celery seed
2 T salt
3 c. Sugar
2 c. cider vinegar
... Chop pears, onions, bell pepper. Mince hot pepper. Combine all and boil 20 minutes. Process in boiling water bath. I'll let you research what would be a safe processing time.
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us.
First time viewer…found your channel from the Hollars. What an awesome peeler…wow. First time canning pears just last week. Oh my hands are chewed up. Lol . I only had a five gallon bucket from my mama and daddy’s old old tree. It’s loaded at the top of the tree but I can get to them. Anyway just wanted to say hey and thanks for the video
I have to go to farmers market to get some pears and peaches to can now. My fruit trees are too young to produce right now. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Amy
I saw your sugar and had to go check mine - I buy Florida Crystals organic, and the packaging and sugar color look very much like the Morena that you have. On another video, someone bought a place and the seller told them that the apple tree in the yard made the BEST apple pie . . . they discovered that the "apple tree" was actually a pear tree, which left me wondering just what a pear pie, prepared like an apple pie, would taste like!
Oh that is interesting! Maybe somebody knows???…
@@metcalfmills5679 Y'all got the pears . . .
I made mock apple pie with pears for years, my family never knew different! Had two nice pear trees in the yard.
Great job Virginia and Justro in canning those delicious looking pears.I was thinking some of the pears with some hot buttered biscuits this winter 😋. Thanks for sharing and God Bless 🙂.
That is for sure! Oh mercy!
Thank you, God bless you as well
Ive got 3 pear trees, one I bought for a keifer, but it is something else, really sweet pear, that nobody can figure out what it is, a Ayers, and a Bartlett that made its first pear this year, Bartlett has the taste and texture of can pears like pear halves.
Yes they do. Thank you for sharing
Very informative. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed
pear butter is super yummy!
I need a good Apple peeler like yours. The little ones are ok, but that looks great.
I am looking forward to it. They are a valuable tool for sure! Thank you
Famous in Europe, the Finnish-made Mehu-Liisa juicer uses a gentle steam process to extract pure natural juices from fruit, without the need to peel, core or de-stem. You can make juices, jellies and syrups without squeezing, straining or making a mess.
It also blanches vegetables for freezing, and is great for steam-cooking clams, lobsters, sweet corn, etc. Foods prepared in this way retain their flavors, as well as much of the vitamin and mineral content usually lost in boiling. For your fallen apple can be very useful.
Thank you for sharing
Justin, when I was a little girl it seemed like everyone had an old pear tree at the back of the property that just would not die but grew the best pairs I have ever tasted.
Yeah we need more pear trees ❤️
Thank you for sharing
Excellent! Blessings, julie
Mouthwatering!
While watching your video, I was canning Salsa Verde….
Thank you 🙂
You're right! those pears will be good when the snow is flying this winter!, Well done, both of you!
They sure will! Thank you
The ripe one make the best pear butter
Sweet!😊
🙂
Great video Justro. I can tell Virginia was at her Mamaw's apron tail when she was in the kitchen cooking and canning when she was littler than Char. Precious girls. You are raising them right sir.
Thank you Virginia ❤️
Those look good, bout taste them. Im.Hoping to be able to do some peaches next year from my trees. Good video take care brother.
Thank you!!
Nice peeler , I’ve got get my pears pulled and let set for awhile and get canned
That’s great!
Hey man, I have got to get me one of those pear peelers. That’s the nearest thing I’ve seen in a while.
They are sweet!
You’re doing good using that Zulka Morena sugar. I don’t use sugar much but when I do that’s the only brand I do use. It’s still actually made like they used to make sugar and if you look on the bag it’s says non-gmo.
I thought it might be good. Thank you
I hope y’all make a happy chicken video when you give them scraps to them
Nope I didn’t 😆
@@metcalfmills5679 maybe next time
How about the pear jelly with those peelings and cores? Lots of goodness left in them. Great job, God Bless.
Yes there is. Good idea
good job disguys
Thank you
Come awwnz dat AIN'T no pear..🤙😄
😆
Good video. I appreciate the pains you take with your canning. People seem to rush things that need not be rushed. I’ve been guilty myself of this. My family has made homemade apple butter for around 50 years over a fire in a copper kettle. I am debating whether to continue doing so. Could use a prayer or two about that. Keep up teaching those girls how these things are done. God bless you brother.
Thank you for sharing Brian. I hope you do. God bless you as well!
Ant never heard of pear butter. Lookin forward to it
Thank you Tommy
Ain’t 😂
Our little pear tree has 8 pears on it.
Howdy Robin, ours is 20 or more years old and it has quiet a bit. Maybe yours will have more all the time.
You mentioned treating your peach trees,... What do you use to keep the worms off of them?
Thanks!
I have to read up on it..
I did enjoy this of course. But I’m looking forward to playing in an old barn with the spiders and snakes next week too 😁😂 I guess the chickens had a feast after you finished peeling all those pears. I think I’m down to my last jar that I canned last year 😭
Sound good Lisa! 😆
Yes they sure did. Oh I hate it when it’s the last jar of anything!!!
@@metcalfmills5679 I hate it too, especially considering I don’t have pear trees now😩
Ouch! 😏
❤❤❤🍐😁
❤️
Have never canned pears. Will be canning some this year. Thanks for the lesson.
Hope they do great!
I like pickled pears
I would like to try that
Do you make jelly with the peelings? You can.
Howdy Matthew, I never have, but that sounds very interesting. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Guess I need to plant a pear tree. I’m in zone 7a West Tennessee. Anyone have a suggested variety? I know nothing about pears.
I don’t know, this is a Bartlett
Ayers is very good, keifer is a caning pear, and Bartlett is good, I grow Ayers and Bartlett and a mystery one that was mislabeled in SC
There 😘 beautiful
Thank you
