Pears Pears everywhere

-
This week I have been gifted with over 50 pounds of pears.  They are everywhere while I am working on getting caught up with the tomatoes.  I think I am just going to can them in very light syrup.  I hope I have enough jars ~smile~.  My bff only asked for some canned pears in return.  Wow!!!!!!  She said she had more also.  Love it !!!!!  Free is wonderful.  Hopefully I will get some pictures posted once I get started.  

Working on my grocery list for the next two weeks.  I have $125 to spend for three adults.  Four on Sundays.  I was also gifted with five pounds of skinless boneless chicken breasts.  After I had bought forty pounds of it at an amazing sale I had found.  Hope to go grocery shopping tomorrow as I am attending a baby shower on Sunday.

    First, thanks for stopping by my blog! This is my first time here at yours, and I've enjoyed it! RE: The Pears - have you ever made Pear Butter? Much like apple butter - great on toast, pancakes and over ice cream - easy to can. I'm sure you can Google a zillion recipes for Pears! What a wonderful friend you have to gift you something so delicious!

Dh is back at work, school teacher, and is working very long days.  He has a difficult group this year and is drained every day.  He is teaching fifth gr
