I do not know how I have ever lived without this fun little extended tool. This is a must for harvesting any kind of fruit....and for only $12.99 at my local Bomgaars, it found a new home.
Nature's gold, but a tad bit sweeter: PEARS!
A few of the required ingredients...not to mention my 25lb. bag of sugar.
Are these sweet? With a bit of help from Roger during the pressure cooker, we have 31 pints!
This is Pear Relish...12 Pints...different, but definately relish. Doing pears was alot of hard work, but very rewarding considering eating healthier requires knowing what is in your food. It sure is a great feeling to know when you are serving up something that it was preserved with your own two hands. I encourage everyone to find a mentor and learn how to preserve. You will not only preserve some great food, but most likely the memories of dear loved ones and the hours they toiled over the stove to give you those cherished gifts of yummies. After using my dear Grammie's recipe for apple butter, it was a walk down memory lane of prior years of her faithful labor of love to me and Roger. And yes, I did make a few phone calls to my dear Grammie while making it (afterall, it was me-Cooking!).

We'll have to trade secrets! I have now successfully preserved homeade plum & raspberry jam, Grape Jelly & more recently Strawberry Jam! :) I plan to replenish some of the stock from Grandma Hoyts pantry, that I help deplete at almost every visit. :) I should have a nice variety by Thanksgiving... If I can keep husband, nephews, & inlaws out of my OWN pantry! :) This summer, I try veggies, and my garden is, as of yet, nonexistent!! :)
