One early weekend morning in July while out having breakfast, I was telling Brad about my plans for the day. I had brought back with me (the weekend before) a couple of sacks full of pears from Mom and Dad's pear trees and had planned to can them hoping to yield maybe a dozen small jars. No big deal, right? But Brad suggested that since we were going to go through the trouble of peeling and slicing, we may as well go back to Mom's backyard and get more. I think I may have given him the have-you-gone-mad look but since he was enthusiastic about my project, I thought I would go along with it. Next thing you know, we were back home with about 8 containers full of pears! It had become a full blown project a-la-Brad process style! I had become the assistant. How did that happen? We peeled, sliced, peeled, sliced days on end with sore fingers and bloody joints (just kidding) but yeah, it was a lot of work but so worth it! What was the yield? 70+ jars (large and small) but it felt like 100s of jars. Yummy!
He never does anything half a**! What a cute Bear!
One of many peel piles! Aaaagh....
