A friend sent out an email inviting others to pick her pear tree.
It was loaded and causing bees to swarm so badly that she couldn't put her
dogs or her kids in the backyard to play.
My eyes were bigger than my stomach,,,so I looked for receipes.
Found 2,,,the blushing pear marmalade,,it uses marchino cherries for the
color as well as more sweet.
The pear butter was easy and wonderful...
I made pear butter when my neighbor's tree was loaded and the bees and such.
I made mine with ginger, cloves, cinnamon. I called it Spicy Pear Butter.
It was very good.
I just put the pears, spices, and a bit of cider on low and simmered until dark and thick.
Blessings,
Amy

I used about the same recipe for pear butter.
But I didn't have any cider, so I used some, very litte actually,
pomergrante/cherry juice that I had in the fridge.
Great dark color.
