Default Pears

o.uk...
The pear tree is heavily laden. Pears are rock solid at the moment but
too far off being ripe.

What can one do with pears apart from the instant use options, not really
jam making material are they?
Can they be frozen or do they go brown?

Perhaps you will need to become a fruitarian!

Bad idea. Fruitarian's are very unhealthy people. One that I knew died
just after his 30th birthday.

Two much fruit can kill!

In a QI programme it was stated that if you eat nothing but rabbit you
will die.
I believe the same of fruit.
It creates havoc in my insides, especially citrus fruits, and triggers
gout in my left foot. It also causes one of my daughters to have
severe cystitis.

Fruit is dangerous, and vegetables aren't much better as far as my
digestive system is concerned, but I do try to eat some..
I don't know why I ever bother to grow them.

Not even a nice pair?


I went into the greengrocers and said:
"Can I have a pun of pears please".
