My 1st batch of pear sauce had more seal failures than seals and had gritty bits in it. (Probably from under ripe/mature pears.) :idunno Toss in compost, trash, feed to chickens? All that work for nothing?
No prob. I tossed them in the freezer for now and will use them instead of applesauce...
I've been canning enough years that I have tons of canning things I've aquired. Some thing I like, some I hate and some I've never used. Currently, I've got things spread out over 2 houses at the moment, so I find I'm needing this or that and with gas being so high, sometimes it's just cheaper...
A storm took out my pear tree, so we had to harvest early. I now have tons of pears in the kitchen. The bigger ones will be split up for ripening to eat and be canned in halves. I am not paring and pitting all the tiny ones. Food mill here we come. LOL
So other than pearsauce and pear...
I love to sew just about anything, but I do terrible zippers. Why?
I crochet fine, but knitting...you don't even want to know.

I cannot can salsa or applesauce to save my soul. I try and I try, but it never works out. :he
