keryxI have pears already falling off the tree this month (which makes sense - they were mostly gone when I moved in last year in late August, so I guess this tree fruits early.
What do I do with them? I would like to make some sorbet with them and the fresh lavender I'm growing, but I don't see a sorbet recipe that doesn't involve an ice cream maker (though I am tempted to get one for just this purpose). What else are they useful for? These are clearly best for cooking/canning/processing in some way, as their skin is very thick.
I continue to dig this food-growing-in-my-yard thing. The cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen - not as fast as I can eat them, but enough that I get a nice snack when I go out in the yard.
