Nice!

Gorgeous bloom 😍

Looking forward to making pears in red wine again 😋🍐🍷 @emch @italydiva @sho47 @gjones

Here's the recipe for Pears in Red Wine, done in the slow cooker. Really easy! @saco Let me know what you think if you make it 😀🍷🍐 #recipe

Oooh great stuff thank you. We've got a slow cooker. Four hours sounds a lot though 🤔🍐🍐🍷🍷

5 hours? What, is there much 🍐left 😁🍷🍷

I'll definitely do this, never tried it but seen it done on tv. Now it's got your approval, well, that's good enough for me 😋🍐🍐🍷🍷

Yes there was plenty! 😂 I did it for about 4 hours not 5 and they were ok. Let me know what you think if you give it a try 😃🍷🍐 @midnightgardener

@anges I will definitely try it. It would be really nice to try something new and with red wine too. Winner 🍐🍐🍷🍷

Thankyou @anges def gonna try this! Will let u know the results

Thanks for sharing! Sounds delish!

Looks delicious Ange thanks for sharing it 🍷🍷🍷

Apparently it's great because pears are rich in soluble fibre which helps control blood sugar & cholesterol levels. It's a low calorie pudding with almost a third of your day's fibre per serving. So it says at the end of the recipe. 😃👍@midnightgardener @saco @jmlincoln @churchfarmgarden 🍷🍐

Here's a recipe I can recommend! 🍐🍐🍐 @sharonhayden

Sounds great thanks

Omg! Thank you Jason and Chris for suggesting pears in red wine!! They are absolutely delicious 😍😋 I did them in the slow cooker for 4 hours, with a bit of ice-cream they are just right! Cheers! 🍷🍐 @hebelover @midnightgardener #gyo #pears #pear

I like the sound of this 😍

Thanks Maggie 🍐🍷😀 @dirtgirlworld

First time I've made it or eaten it Sarah - absolutely delicious!! 🍷😀🍐 @sieveheadsarah

I must give it a try, but I dip it have any hard pears 🤨

What!! #yummy can you share this recipe please?? Wow that looks so good

That looks good Ange!

Mine were like rock! 😂 @sieveheadsarah

Thanks, it was! 😀 I'll post the recipe - really easy! @saco

It was Sue - I did 6 - 1 each tonight and the same tomorrow. Very rich! 😍 @lilybee

Can you walk in a straight line?! 😄😄

😂just about! I did sausages in a cider and mustard gravy aswell!! 😂 @lilybee

This year's pears 🍐🍐🍐 still like rock! Recipe suggestions welcome 🙂 Thank you 🍐🍐🍐 #gyo

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/spiced-pear-chutney this sounds delicious and it uses firm pears 🍐🍐🍐

Halved, studded with a few cloves and lightly poached in red wine, touch of cinnamon 😋

Lovely! Thanks for your recipe ideas Jane, Jason and Cyndi - lots to choose from - they should keep me going 😋😋😋 @pelly @hebelover @cyndi

Try pear butter!! @anges so good

By any change are these called “winter pears”? Mine are hard as rocks also, gramma said they stay hard inthe root cellar during the fall and ripen to eat in the winter as fresh pears, and it’s true, I’ve tried it,

Wow they look yummy 😋

I think I will, thanks 🙂👍 @saco

I'm not Alison, I'll have to look into it, thank you 🙂👍🍐 @alisons50 Some of these recipes use firm pears though so that's lucky 🙂

I'm pleased with the little crop, they're a good size too, except for the wonky one! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

They don’t ripen on the tree, thanks from me for the recipes , nothing like sinking your teeth into a ripen pear though...yum 🤤

Yes that's right, a couple had blown off onto the floor - found the puppy eating one 😄 I love eating them raw when they're just right 🍐😋 @clearglass

#wonky #wonkyfruit 🍐🍐🍐😄

Well that’s not pear sheep....😉

Nope, it must have been on a diet 😃 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

The little pear tree is covered in blossom 🍐🍐🍐

Wonderful 💚💚

Thank you 😊 @sabbanrula

How lovely 😊😊🌼🌼🌼🌼

Thanks Christine 🍐🍐🍐 @midnightgardener

Always love the #autumncolours of the pear tree 🍂🍐🍁🍐🍁🍐🍂🍐🍁🍐🍂

🤩 great variety of colours 💛💚

Hi Rula 🙋‍♀️ Thanks very much 💖 Autumn 💖😀 @sabbanrula

From flower to fruit 🍐🍐🍐 #gyo

Wow 🤩 morning @anges I do hope to get fruit next year on our pear apple cherry and plum. We might get lucky with our lemons fruits if we can keep them warm enough 💐💐💐

Morning Wayne 😊 The pear tree has done ok this year - only been in the ground about 3 years. Same with the apple tree but we got quite a lot of apples this time. The plum tree went in early this year so we've only had 1 plum off it - tasted lovely though! My lemon tree has 3 tiny lemons on it at the moment- we've probably had about 10 lemons from it over the last few years. Good luck with yours 🍋🍎🍐

well done Ange...mine has a rust so pulling all the leaves off...I’ll give it another season see how it goes...☹️

Pear blossom is beautiful

Yummy 😋 I’m picking and eating mine they seem to be ripe on the tree - if I leave them on tree for while - will they not ripen - or will they rot?

Thanks Elaine but I don't feel like I did anything 🤷‍♀️ they just grew! 😀 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom Hope you have better luck next year 😊

@libbyflower It's gorgeous isn't it Lisa? 💚

They might rot or the wasps might claim them. Monty picked his off the tree and said put them on the windowsill to ripen. I thought I would do the same as they're quite hard yet. @sharonhayden

Thanks Katie, think I'll make either a crumble or some jam with them 😊🍐 @gjones

These are beautiful. No scab in sight. Mine get hit by scab and rot

Oh thanks David, just lucky 😀 @davyc

#gyo Lots of juicy 🍐🍐🍐 this year ☺ #pear #pears

Thanks again Maggie, looking forward to tasting them 😋 @gardengirlla

#blossom 🍐🍐🍐

Lovely pear blossom....mine is nearly there too...🍐

Morning @anges don’t think our fruit trees will be doing much this year only baby 🌳’s

Morning ☺ @wtwitchell6969

Beautyful

#blossom 🍐🍐🍐

Pear tree with no 🍐🍐🍐 but lovely colours ☺ #beautifuldecay
