Mine are big and fat and stocky looking.<BR/> Janet..I will for sure have to try that pear pickle recipe. I have never ever eaten a pickled pear, and am curious to try it.<BR/> Thank you!Tina Leavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903745713391219366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3131787274398766585.post-21900868180719287032007-08-11T15:25:00.000-07:002007-08-11T15:25:00.000-07:00Pear recipes you ask?Have you ever tried pear pick...Pear recipes you ask?<BR/>Have you ever tried pear pickle?<BR/><BR/>I submit my mother's and grandmother's famous pear pickle recipe. Just can 'em and put 'em up for this winter, and when your mouth waters for something sweet and spicy (cinnamon and cloves), bring 'em out. We serve them for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but they're great anytime and not that hard to make.<BR/><BR/>PEAR PICKLE<BR/>6 pounds pears<BR/>3 pounds sugar<BR/>1 pint water<BR/>1 pint apple cider vinegar<BR/>4 sticks cinnamon<BR/>2 tablespoons whole cloves<BR/>2 tablespoons whole allspice<BR/><BR/>Peel pears and leave whole if they are small enough to fit through a large wide-mouth, quart canning jar. Otherwise, cut in halves or quarters. <BR/>Combine other ingredients and bring to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add pears. Boil until pears are tender and transparent. <BR/>Fill your jars and let seal.<BR/><BR/>(Note: We often double or triple this recipe depending upon how many pears we have. In that case, we use two Dutch ovens to speed the process.)JANEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410943352661289818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3131787274398766585.post-48464822191032447112007-08-11T07:28:00.000-07:002007-08-11T07:28:00.000-07:00Those pears look delicious, Tina!
