You can freeze or dry pears. I used the last of last years crop by putting them in a dish, making a chocolate sponge and spreading it over, served with a quick HM chocolate sauce :drool:Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

Thanks all! I picked what I could today (gathered far more windfall to be disposed of
) and stewed them down with cinnamon and brown sugar. We've just sampled them after a big family Sunday lunch with ice-cream, absoloutely delicious! Even my misery-guts sister sampled it, five times to be precise! What's left over will be spilt between us and my dad has promised to source a longer ladder so we can reach the nether regions next time I visit.

Yes, go ahead and pillage.I have two trees in my new rented property and plan to use all the pears OS style
I've made 3 huge batches of stewed pears now and the family can't get enough of them, particularly as I'm sparing with the sugar and generous with the cinnamon. Custard, cream, ice-cream, evap, anything goes! I've also pulped a load and used to substitute part of the butter in a cake recipe, deliciously moist!
I cannot believe that I am eating so well for nearly free!Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Edited to correct spelling mistake.0 -
You might like to edit your header and post as I presume you mean "pears" (the fruit)? It's a bit confusing as it is! I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

Your post does not make sense at all.0 -
I thought you were going to ask how many spare pairs of undies everyone had...I would have been able to join in with that one Sadly I have no suggestions about pear chutney for you 0
