HI Guys,

I have TONS of pears this year...Way more than we can eat...Any suggestions on what I can do with them.

Thanks a lot..

P.S..we are not big fans of putting fruit in our salad...so that option is kind of out but pretty much anything else goes.

Pear Chutney or brandied pears. Yum.

Or, how about Pear Strudel? Freeze them unbaked, then pop in oven when needed.

My mother always made pear preserves.

ALL SOUND GOOD...Any Recipes anybody wants to share...Brandied Pears and preservers and strudel sound wonderful.

Thanks in advance

Here is a recipe for Apple Strudel that I have subbed pears in. I add more raisins, and a touch of ground ginger. If it's just for us, I like making smaller ones. Or making them into triangles as you would for spanakopita.

here you go -

This one from Emeril is really good, and we use it as a dessert. But, it could be s side dish also.

Emeril’s Fresh Pears with Parmigiano-Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar

Makes 6 Servings


3 ripe Anjou or Comice pears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, in 1 piece
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Halve and core the pears, slice each half into long, thin slivers.

Drizzle the pears with the lemon juice. Fan out 4 to 5 pieces of pear on a salad plate. Using a vegetable peeler, "peel" thin slivers of cheese and sprinkle around the pears. Drizzle each with a little balsamic vinegar and serve. Garnish with black pepper.

ooooCj,
That looks so good. What a cool idea to use it as a side, so Italian and yet soo very different. Thanks, that woke me up
