Picking pears

We are very lucky to have neighbours down the road from us with a great pear tree. Tonight friends of ours came with us to pick pears. The kids were very excited about it, since everyday we drive past the tree they've noticed how loaded the tree is this year. Well they picked some, played some and were not ready to leave once we were done! By the end we had 6 full boxes and the tree was still covered. And what did we do with all those pears?? Well I kept 3 boxes which I canned and gave the others boxes to friends who also canned them. A lot of work, but so much better then the store bought kind that doesn't come from anywhere near Canada!
