Pears!

Pears are wonderful, but like apples, they are a more fall-like (or near fall) fruit, that usually cannot be grown in Georgia.

But, someone new at work moved into a house with a HUGE pear tree, and the pears are ripe and falling off the tree. So, we went over and I got about a dozen good pears before the skys opened up to an enormous thunderstorm. So, this morning, I canned a half dozen pints of pears, in a syrup made with 4 cups of water, a cup of local honey, and a cup of granulated sugar.

They look pretty, and we will find out how good they taste soon.
