  1. I have 2 Lucious Pear trees that gave me their first good crop this year. Everywhere I have read says they are not suitable for canning, but it looks like you succeeded ! I am at 6900 ft altitude . Did you use a basic pear canning receipe? Thanks for giving me hope! I had just made up my mind to dehydrate them all, but I love canned pears...
