All my canning and preserving recipes and equipment are there. We are hoping to go this weekend. <BR/><BR/>When I was a little girl, her Pear Honey was my favourite topping for toast and biscuits. Now I find it tastes too sweet to me. It has lemon in it, but I am planning to add more. The tartness should help cut the sweet. I will let you know how that works out.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018172805489963981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-35187732173125401092008-11-10T22:57:00.000-06:002008-11-10T22:57:00.000-06:00I don't have a clue about her pear honey -- could ...I don't have a clue about her pear honey -- could you share your recipe?<BR/><BR/>MarthaMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-80015072222647185112008-11-10T00:01:00.000-06:002008-11-10T00:01:00.000-06:00Forgot to say, my grandmother also made a lot of p...Forgot to say, my grandmother also made a lot of pear preserves and plain canned pears.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018172805489963981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-52196295556535405262008-11-09T23:59:00.000-06:002008-11-09T23:59:00.000-06:00Thanks Martha.

I've got her recipe, and if I am able, I intend to make a batch of that this fall. <BR/><BR/>Do you know how your Mom made Pear Honey? I'd love to compare recipes.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018172805489963981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-33256247095063780612008-11-09T21:53:00.000-06:002008-11-09T21:53:00.000-06:00I grew up with a pear tree as well -- pear honey w...I grew up with a pear tree as well -- pear honey was what my mother always made with the fruit.
