I love this organic pear juice. Unfortunately, it is so expensive. More unfortunately, Wegman's stores it right under display lights, so close that the bottles get hot. I refuse to pay almost $4.00 for something cooked by a display light. Fortunately, I am a pear baron and can make as much as I want.

Here is one of my cute jars of it.

I started picking more pears at noon and I just stopped processing pears 10 minutes ago.
Okay, I look very special ed here, but it was scary with the pears falling on my head. (e:terry) didn't wear a helmet and one hit him in the head. Its like a twenty foot drop for some of the pears. I knocked a lot of them down using an old branch that fell off the tree during the wind storm. I kept thinking it is like having your arms ripped off and then being beaten by it.

Today, my mother joined us and the four of us peeling, cored and slices pears for the entire afternoon.

Boiling the jars is time consuming but so worth it. People say you can just make them for the freezer but what is the point of using energy and space all years long when you can just spend an extra 20 minutes and boil them. Preserving stuff is so worht it. Next year I am going to build a preservation cellar room and jar a ton of stuff, not just tomatoes and pears.

Here we have 3 bushels of sliced pears in sugary yum, yum syrup.

I made more pears sauce with the iregular ones. This time it was a little more pureed like baby food. I like it both ways.

The sauce is really good with pork chops. They were so cheap for some reason. Eight of them for $9.00 which is way better priced than the lame chops for which I got 8 for like $20.00.

The pork chops were really good cooked.

lady in white is actually a germ-o-phobe!
i can't remember who it was who told me.
I'm not sure anyone knows the white lady's story so that is a good question. I suppose someone knows.
Um... does anyone know the story of the lady in white?
Ok fine- rock the helmet. Please just don't start rocking it all the time. It's such a fine line between you and the lady in white- you're already so close..
Paul, you were right to rock the bike helmet. Fuck how it looks man, sometimes things just have to work.
a few things:
Pear Barron- awesome
You look special ed with the helmet- so funny
in one of the earlier posts you look muscletastic-totes hot.
are you ever going to email/call me back? or should i just talk to you in bianary code? 01101001011100001010101
My grandmother cans pears every year and I actually asked her about it for the first time 2 weeks ago. You guys have the right idea. You should do peaches too!
I just realized that I actually have never had pear sauce. I used to buy pears by the tonloads in my first year but lately I have not been very super-enthusiastic about them because they get spoilt so easily. Maybe I should have made pear sauce all those years. Late realization dawns...
Oh, I could have made like 30 gallons with all the pears we had. That wasn't all the juice, just one cute sample jar. It was the only small jar I own ;( I wish I had more small jars - maybe next year.
Hey Paul - when you consider how long it took to make your pear sauce and/or juice, and how many pears it actually takes for a small amount, $4.00 for a bottle of the juice probably isn't really so bad. Of course, they cheat and do everything with automation. Your stuff looks great and I bet it's delicious.
