Pear Harvesting 2011

This is the Beautiful pear tree on our farm. This year it is loaded with Canning Pears ,so my mom and dad told me they would teach me how to put these pears up. I'm not sure how old this tree is since we just got our farm in 2010.
This is my mom MaryAlice stirring the pot of Pear Jelly and adding the sugar. After peeling in mashing and straining it takes 8 cups of Pear Juice and 8 cups of sugar,we added 1 1/2 box of suregel. I loved pouring the jelly into the jars.we canned 34 pints.It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon spent with mom.
