Pears

pears4

We have been blessed with an abundance of pears. Three of us worked seven hours on pears just in one day. We are dehydrating them this year. My Kitchenaid does not cut them thin enough, so I use my mandolin slicer. My arms are getting a workout! 

Dehydrated pears are wonderful to sweeten tea or oatmeal. Everyone here loves cinnamon pear bread too. I am going to make vinegar from the scraps. Then the fruit scraps from the vinegar will go to the chickens. Every little bit gets used. Waste not, want not.
