Picking Pears

We had the cousins over for a sleepover last night, so today became pear picking day!



They all helped pick the grapes last week, and we made grape juice and the tastiest raisins I've ever had.





This pear tree produces so well every year, I already have a ton of bottled pears.  This year I think I'll try to dry them.  My husband got me an awesome dehydrator, and I've heard dried pears are delicious.

We had some huge pears this year, and some tiny ones!


I have a fabulous Birnentorte (Pear Torte) recipe I brought home with me from Germany.  I have to make american modifications, but maybe it's time to actually write it down in english and share it with everyone!
