Pears

Some friends have a few pear trees in their back yard. They gave me a five gallon bucket FULL of pears! We made around four quarts of pearsauce, and I made a pear, apple, raspberry crisp one evening when we had guests.

I made the pearsauce in the crockpot, and used this recipe for applesauce, but of course substituted pears for apples. My kids LOVE this stuff!

I used this recipe for the crisp I made, but I obviously used more fruit than just apples. The pears, apples, and raspberries were really, really good! Everyone at our home Bible study really enjoyed it!

We went apple picking earlier this week, and we might go again in the next week or so. I hope to make some apple butter and apple dumplings. I LOVE Fall!!!!
