Pear, Pears, and more Pears

[ShellyCooks]

Hi Dave ~. I also have quite a few pears this year. I have been making pear bread for the freezer, pear crisp with oats, and pear sauce. Pear sauce is very easy if you freeze it. Just peel, core and chop the pears sprinkling with lemon juice as you work. Add a splash of water, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of salt. If pears need a little sweetening, add sugar to taste. Cook until soft and "jammy". Cool and mash with potato masher for chunky sauce or put in food processor/ blender to desired texture. Place in freezer containers and freeze. Pear sauce can be used
just like applesauce ---- delicious!

A friend of mine, who has pear trees, makes pear butter every year, and it is delicious!

Joy of Cooking has an apple spice cake recipe that works as well for pears, and would freeze well.

Well so far we have made pear sauce, pear bread, and pear strudel - all frozen. I am canning pears in syrup today, and last night Brian suggested pear jam/preserves. If there are any left after those I am going to freeze some pear pies and maybe give pear butter a try.
