I have stayed inside the house with all of the windows closed up today because of the heat, so I have managed to get some more fall decor put together. Here are a few teasers...
It has really "cozied" up the house.
I will show the whole picture later......I'm just teasing until I get finished.
How can a girl have fall without a rooster?? More of that later also.
Look what dear sweet hubby brought home for me this time... yes...three five gallon buckets of fall pears. Actually he was expecting pair preserves, but we still have plenty left over from the last five years! Sooooo, off I went to find something to do with all of these lovely pears (besides eat them raw, which I have done also).
I ended up with pear butter. This just screams fall to me, and it is absolutely divine! After hubby tasted the first batch, he was all for more pear butter instead of preserves.
This is mostly for my benefit, because I did not follow one recipe, or write anything down. I combined several that I liked, and I will never remember this next fall when I want to make this again. Since I never measure anything, all I will have to do is look at this post and know what I added......oh, and literally cups and cups of brown sugar for that caramel taste.....that is the key!
One batch (12-15 pears) doesn't make much after it is cooked down (I used the crock pot) then pureed, and then cooked down for an hour or so on the stove top. I used the little 4 oz jelly jars for one batch. I love to fix little baskets of goodies at Christmas time, and I think these will fit in quite well.
When I went to dump the pair peelings at the compost area, look what I happened upon. I knew hubby had planted the fall garden, but I had no idea it was this far along. Guess what's for supper at my house???
