Pears

While Anne was still home, but before she left for Indiana to learn all about making goat cheese, we harvested the pears. Last year I learned that you have to pick them BEFORE they ripen or else they rot from the inside out. So, by testing them with a sideways turn, you take the ones that snap off at the stem. We picked enough to make 41 pints.

Anne made puff pastry on top of which she spread almond cream and poached pears. Grandaisy, this is your loss!
