This year, the conditions must have been perfect. I've seen other people posting photos of peaches. We planted an apple tree when we moved here, but it didn't take. I would like to have the old-fashioned green apples like my grandparents had on their farm. My Grandma made the best green apple pie.

Growing up we had a pear and about a dozen different apple trees, we did nothing with them. Dad pruned them occasionally, but that's all.<br />Your grandmothers pear recipe sounds delicious!<br />CheriCDHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199340649340083682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-74003677971179677802014-08-19T13:17:02.296-05:002014-08-19T13:17:02.296-05:00I have a friend in Stafford that helped me with my...I have a friend in Stafford that helped me with my first canning project (cherry jelly). Contact me through Facebook if you would like her name to help you through your first canning experience.

Right now, the pears aren't ripe enough to use, but, hopefully, we picked them at the right time and they will ripen correctly. Thanks for the link to the Extension publication.
