Day 339: A second batch of pears is done and in the pantry cupboard where they will wait to bring a little cheer into the cold, dark months of winter. These next few weeks will be occupied with more canning as I stock the larder with fruit and jam. Asian pears are ripening on the counter, gooseberries and currant juice are thawing in the fridge, and if anyone happens to have a surplus of apples, I'd welcome at least part of them with open arms. Store-bought canned fruit doesn't hold a candle to homemade, and even though canning is a lot of work, I believe it's well worth the effort. These pears are going to taste really good when snow blankets the ground.
