I could have used more liquid in my cooking them as a cobbler, I was afraid to get the cobbler "watery". Next time, I'll do better although there was none left ( Cecil saw to that :o). I've had enough this year of putting away Pears.. I ended up doing pretty good with the tomatoes too. A neighbor shared some of hers with me for my Pears :o)..and I made some Tomato sauce/soup and that's how I'm going to label them. We had some of it this morning with sausage and biscuits for breakfast;; I tell you that soup was on the money..Not at all like the soup you buy in the can, mine was way better and I know what I put in mine :o) I love having homemade Tomato soup and Chicken soup, it perks me right up. I also like to have some Tea in the afternoon..and just
think I've got a big jar of "Mullein" to relax
me..I've been on a roll over here :o)

Oh, we can't wait for our tomatoes to come in strong. And thanks for reminding me of tomato soup. Belle makes a wonderful tomato soup too. Maybe I'll encourage her to can or freeze some of it.
This morning mine was so tasty I was ready to do more tomatoes up in quart sizes :o)..
You are on a roll, Ginny! Good for you. How nice that you and your neighbor could swap pears and tomatoes. It's good to share the wealth! :-)
Sounds like you have been canning up a storm. Glad to hear you were able to get some tomatoes in exchange for your pears. Now take some time and relax:)
Daisy, It is more blessed to give than to receive< so the Bible says :o) I guess your blessed to have it in the first place in order to give. ( My table runneth over with Pears :o).
Mrs. Pickles, I have weathered that canning storm :o) it seemed that everything came at once. I had a few tomatoes but with the extra I was able to have enough to can in jars for later soups etc.
All you canning looks so nice, I am going to have to dry some pears and apples they are one of my favorites, my grandpa us to dry them every year along with his figs. Yum, real food:) Hope you have a great week. Tink
Tink's Spin,
once you dry them , they will last I'm told for a couple of years...I used some that were a year old to make a cobbler..it worked, but I should have used more liquid ..next time I'll do better.:o)
