35 pears here. missing a few that had fallen off the tree earlier. a couple of these went home with my mom.
these pears are huge! a good handful!!
my luscious tree pears
not as big as parker. taller and skinnier.
same white bowl as above in the first picture. 14 luscious pears. (missing a few that had fallen off the tree earlier)
luscious pears in the greenhouse
turns out letting the pears ripe in the greenhouse was bad. they got sunburned and mushy on one side, and stayed green and hard on the other.
they kinda rotted from the inside out, stem and seeds first.
i cut away the mushy parts and saved what i could
see, mushy middle, the outside is good
so i made pearsauce with the salvaged bits. nothing but pears and water.
it was UNBELIEVABLY sweet. absolutely NO sugar added.
but all hope was not lost. i only put SOME of the pears in the greenhouse. after i read that pears need a cooling period before they start ripening properly, i took half and put them in the fridge. then ripened them on my counter.
