I finally got to use my Apple Longaberger basket for something it was sorta made for!
Collected pears last night…at least the ones on the lower branches. I need another ladder for the top ones.
Now I have to figure out what exactly I will make with them, here are a few ideas:
Spiced Pear Jam
Pear Butter
Pear Preserves
Autumn Cranberry Pear Jam
Ginger Pear Marmalade
I’m pretty sure I have enough to make two batches…I’m leaning towards the Spiced Pear Jam and the Autumn Cranberry Pear Jam.

Beautiful pears!
I LOVE Longaberger. Need to get back to getting some more of their stuff…
You need to host a party…that’s the only way (besides yard sales) I can afford their baskets.
Mary did a gorgeous job with that butcher block!
It IS beautiful
The basket is beautiful. Mine is full of beautiful books about apples. It makes a pretty display. We lost our crop of pears from the effects of Irene. Save a few pears and make a tart. The flavor will be incredible.
Hello Karen! Thank you for dropping by! I LOVE your home!
Sorry to hear about your pears and apples…
I was thinking of making a sort of strudel later on in the week.
