Tiny Pears

[Carol Dee]

Due to lack of rain and / or Japanese beetle this years pears are tiny.
Here I am holding five pears.

Same pears on a desert plate with a nickel for size comparison.

Look at that! You've successfully bred Mini-Pears!
I bet you could sell them in NY!

Too funny! They are so ripe already. Soft. Would not ship or keep well. Sadly.

we had a bunch like that given to us last year and i ate some of them and determined it was too much work to make something out of them. i recall a friend talking about juicing them to make jellies but i'm not into jelly making here... the worms got a nice feast out of it. i do like green pears and ripe ones too...

hope you have a fun/good day @Carol Dee time to get out a pick away...

Carol my pear trees where stripped of fruit at country house. I do have pear tree at work which has some pears waiting for them to rippen. Did you know pears need to finish rippening off the tree ?

Small pears better than no pears. Our tree bloomed but no pears on it this year.

I grew up among the pear orchards of southern Oregon.
