Today I canned 7 quarts of pear segments 5 quarts of pear juice for drinking, 7 1/2 pints of pear jelly and the pulp made 2 pints of pear sauce. I am overrun by pears. I have 7 bushels to go. That is over 250 more pounds to can. I am going to try a pear salsa with green and yellow bell peppers. I will snaps some shots and put them up.<br />As far as a pen-pal I know I can send a postcard or letter for .96c, (U.S. cents). Just under a Dollar. I am not sure the currency in Australia. I will send you an email in the next day or so and we chat email about addresses and the like. <br />Super excited!

I cannot believe how creative one can get with a ton of free fruit. We are in the mist of canning four different types of pears currently. I blogged about canning pears last year this time. I am planning on doing some post on the different things I am doing. <br />I am wondering if you would be interested in a state side, homesteading, homeschooling crazy canning pen pal? I love pen- pals and have two here in the U.S. I think you would be a wonderful overseas pen-pal. Let me know what you think. Good luck canning.
