Pears-a-Plenty!

One of the things I love best about Summer time is the abundance of variety of fruits and vegetables available locally.  In years past, Eddie and I have canned a lot of peaches.  This year, we opted for pears.  We bought two boxes of pears and, with a lot of help from my mom, she and I canned pears this year.

So pretty!  Just a couple of samples from my first time canning pears!

They turned out beautiful!  What's more is that Samantha loves pears, and I love the peace of mind I have in knowing exactly what's in each of these jars. :)  Yeah, it can be a daunting task to can your own fruits/vegetables - but well worth the time and effort!
