Hi bramleyhouse,

There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas that should help you to use the pears so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

A fellow freecycler allowed us to make use of two buckets worth of pears....does anyone have any ideas on how to use them.....fruit isn't a problem with 2 DS around as they can eat 2/3 a day each, but I'm looking for other ways to use them OS of course

would welcome your input please:j

Hi Freecycler

here's a whole thread about pears. You should find plenty of ideas in there :money:

Hi There

I asked this a few weeks ago as i managed to get three bags of pears for 12p each. Tis the season for pears and this year i have made pear wine, stewed pears with apple, and made pear upside down pudding - a variation on the apple one which works well as long as the pears are ripe.

Pears ripen if stored in a cool environment - in a single layer on sheets of newspaper - out of the light. If the environment is cool enough you may be able to store them for a good few months. wrap separately in newspaper - like you would apples. Otherwise i am pretty sure you can bottle them but dont have a recipe

the thread on pears is really good - i guess you could also make perry - pear cider if you can find a recipe.

Try to store them to make them last the winter.

our two favourites are pear pudding - pears with chocolate sponge on top - and pears with rich chocolate sauce

I have a load of pears and am not really that sure of what to do with them. Someone had a bowl outside their house with a note saying to help yourself, so I was like 'woo free fruit' and now am bored of eating them :rolleyes: and would like some fresh ideas.
