Going to make this now. Additionally, I challenge your silly statement about possibly being persnickety! I read it as if you thought some readers might see you in that way! I, on the other hand, read your sentences as a woman who is organized, sets limits for her time, and can make a smart and justified decision that fits her life / schedule. Just had to pass this along.

Since they are hard crisp she'd make pear pie, using an apple pie recipe. She would also make applesauce or pear preserves, done in slices....and then she had another recipe that used red hots, the candies to make a red-hot candied pears to serve next to ham.<br /><br />I even saw her pickle some once...and those were tasty....<br />Good luck with your pears...east texas rancherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908766066011097621noreply@blogger.com
