Okay, so you got only 4 pints for all your hours of labor. (Why does this ratio sound very familiar to me?) But I'm betting those 4 pints will taste WONDERFUL! Be very selective with whom you share them. (Sue and Carolyn are worthy in my book!) I so admire you for always trying what I consider exotic food recipes. Not at all like the mac and cheese we're having for dinner tonight. (That's a lie, I just wanted to make a point. We're having a mixed roasted veggie casserole, salmon patties and our very. last. jar. of. applesauce. Waaah.)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-33580326618254775982013-10-09T18:34:32.955-04:002013-10-09T18:34:32.955-04:00The 35 or so hybrid Kiefer-Bosc pears we got this ...The 35 or so hybrid Kiefer-Bosc pears we got this year (after a late spring frost messed with our anticipated bumper crop) looked too good to be true - which they were, since all were rotting from the inside out.
