Pear Picking Time

Pears are dangling like sugarplums from these branches. They are just about ready to be plucked, peeled and put into canning jars for pear preserves or pear pickle. Maybe you'd just prefer a pear pie!

Quickly Picked the pears
To keep them off the ground
And canned them in layers
Slim, preseved and sweet
For all to eat.

I'd eat them as is. In fact, I have been eating local pears of late. They're soooooo good!

Hi Lynette, what a cute rhyme! I have canned pears but not this time!

Z, we had a pear tree in the yard where I grew up, and that is often what we did...eat them straight off the tree! We lived downtown, so people walking along the sidewalk often picked up the fallen pears and ate them. We had to be quick to pick those pears!

Pears that just fall to the ground are so ripe and so good. My-o-my my mouth is watering.

Wonderful photo. Our local newspaper recently published many succulent pear recipes.

I love pears. . . .They're great in salads made with crisp greens, grilled shrimp (or chicken), tomatoes, and pear vinaigrette.

Pears; can there be any better fruit? No. These would be great poached in a wine sauce, or even honey lemon sauce. mmm, fresh pears!

I prefer pears just under water.

And to bite inside with the juice which runs on the fingers
