Pear Picking

Every year, the pear tree in my parents back yard is full of pears, ready to be picked the first week back in school. For years, so many of the pears went to waste because there was not enough time to do anything with them. Since I'm at home with my kiddos and not teaching, I've made it my mission to pick pears and do something with them! Lola helped pick and we have made pear butter, pear-apple sauce, and pear puree for Mac to try in a few months. We still have a bucket half full of pears so I'm checking out Pinterest for more pear ideas! As always, Lola is my helper in the kitchen for all of these recipes and is loving her pears!
