[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 3908848, member: 50626"] My wife’s parents pear trees did the same thing. We got a lot of it washed and sliced and frozen. After getting it prepped/frozen from there you can take your time and thaw to make whatever ya want You can make pear sauce just like applesauce, pear butter like apple butter, use it in crisps/cobblers/pies. Make wine. Etc.. we found the pears tend to be better in the sauces because they go mushy after freezing. A little too mushy for pies.. Making pear wine is easy. Pears have a very light flavor in wine, so I would go heavy on the fruit load. Minimum of 5lbs diced pears per gallon. Do a 3 or 4 gallon batch in a 5 gallon bucket, leaving enough space for all that fruit. Primary fermentation only takes about a month. Then you can chemical stabilize and bottle clear it. Bottle age 6months to a year before drinking. We also love to make Dutch oven cobbler with our home grown fruits of any kind. Even if the frozen pears tend to be a little mushy, still tastes good!
