My pear tree is loaded with little baby fruits. I'm looking for ideas for putting them up. Last year I made pear jelly. I have discovered that I don't eat that much Jelly. How many different way's can you use a pear?

One of my favorite Sweet potato or Yam dishes is with apples added, in place of the apples I bet Pears would be good.

My wife made some pear butter one year that we had access to plenty of pears. Man it was good. Warm up a little and put over ice cream, mmm mmmmmmm good.
The pear crisp sounds good to.
Thanks guys. I'll have to try these.
We dehydrate a LOT of pears every year, and then vacuum seal them in pint Ball jars. Great for mid winter candy.
