The sun was out the other day and it was very warm. Everyone was out just enjoying the afternoon. Though the trees look bare there are signs of spring popping up everywhere. I can't wait for the trees to start producing pears and apples. This year I'm going to be more diligent about getting pears for juice. I will can the juice so I can have some on one of the coldest night next winter. It will remind me of sunshine. 

Pear & Apple Juice

I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted anything….Sorry it's been a very busy summer. 

The pear and apple trees are dropping fruit like crazy. Last year I made several apple pies. I have not been very interested in the pear tree till just recently. I found out that I love pear juice and last summer we bought a steamer. We finally decided to try it out and picked up a bunch of apples and pears. The first batch of apples only produced about 32oz of juice and the juice was a little sour. The second batch we used pears, we got about 64 oz of pear juice and it taste wonderful. I have been going out and picking up the pears that fall on the ground, cutting them up and putting them in the juicer. We have several container of pear juice. Last year I also put up several container of apples to be used in future pies.
