I use a small cookie scoop (that i scored at a thrift shop for 19 cents 😁) to core my pears.. actually i think it's called a melon baller
-
A friend has 2 large pear trees and told me to come and get as many as I want. I now know what I’m going to do with them. And I love that streamer canner and I’m going to check out getting one of them, looks a lot easier of dealing with a heavy water bath canner of boiling water. Thank you and many blessings.

Hello Melissa! Thank you for sharing this tip! You are such an inspiration to us and so many others! Thank you for touching our lives and educating all of us! We are a farm family of all girls and we are learning homesteading, homeschooling, and everything else along the way! Our 14 year old daughter is the voice behind our channel where, like you, hopes to help and educate in any small way she can! THANK YOU for inspiring! Blessings to you from your friends from Kansas!

I have a pear corer that makes very quick work of coring lots of pears. I find that I can peel a pear with a peeler quicker than blanching, cooling and taking off the skin with my fingers.
-
I did 15 gallons of pears this year.. oh boy I peaked everyone. Thanks for the tip. Kath

I'm watching and thinking a soft no nap towel or paper towel will wipe that skin off without losing flesh, and a melon baller would cut the time down and lose less flesh. I bought 40 lb of beautiful transitional pears, and just had them delivered this week from Azure Standard. Thanks for confirming my idea of blanching!🎉🥰
-
I found that a strawberry/tomato corer is also ideal for use in removing seed cores in many other produce items, including pears. Fast and easy, plus there is basically no waste because teh corer is so small.
-
I live in Arkansas and have an Asian Pear tree. I dry my pears, but sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on them first. I snack on them during the Winter and they're great. (on a side note, I want to encourage everyone to consider growing Sun Chokes as a survival food) Mrs Norris, Ma'am, you do a good job. I pray blessing on you and your loved ones...
-
The peels come off easier if you just rub the pear while it's in the cold water
-
We grow 13 organic fruits including pears. We also buy from Azure Standard now they added route near us. Love the vanilla.
-
We’ve used honey for years in canning, yes you do loose some of the nutrients but the trade of is your fruit doesn’t turn brown over time, when we used sugar this was not the case. We also use honey when we freeze fruit such as peaches and strawberries.
-
I just started on a half bushel of pears from a local farm, I did 7 quarts in a very light honey/water syrup. There's still a bunch left even after starting a small batch of pear butter! Next round will be in pints 😊
-
Good morning Melissa. Those canned pears look absolutely delicious. - the perfect seasonal Autum dessert. 😊
-
This looks like such a time saver! Thank you for showing us this method!!!
-
Use the funnel to put the pears in the jar they slide right in. No need to risk burning your hands or damaging the fruit fiddling with your hands and scraping against the jar neck. I use standards with the funnel.
-
Our pear tree was loaded this year. Gonna preserve some this week! Thanks ❤️
-
Thank you for this tip. I have a pear tree in my yard and I make pear butter and slice pears. This will help me greatly.
-
No way! Wish I would have known that decades ago. Thanks!
-
Our pear season is done but I will definitely be trying it. Every year my finger gets it. We have cooking pears so they are like stone.
-
Wonderful tip and a very helpful video. Only wish I had waited one more day before I did my pears last night. Would have definitely made some changes. Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge.
