Our Bartlett pear tree had quite the lackluster performance this year. By the time my fancy-pants Lehman's fruit picker arrived, I was able to harvest all of 10 pears.
Thankfully, J. brought home a bucket of [very ripe] pears. We were given a generous 25+ pounds! I spent all of one evening making a cardamom spiced Bartlett Pear Butter. The recipe starts with chopped pears (no pealing, no coring). Later the solids are separated with a food mill. ...time-consuming but easy.
