In segment two Joey and Holly gives suggestions on what to do with apples and pears

1. Can them. Canning pears or apples are easy. You can create a light syrup or can them in their
own juice. You can even add cinnamon for some extra flavor. This makes a quick addition to a
fruit salad in a pinch or with a few more ingredients you can make…
2. A pie! Pear or apple pie is delicious and easy. You can use your own canned fruit or fresh fruit.
3. Speaking of pie, you can make and can your own pie filling. To do this you do have to purchase
something called clear jel which is mostly found online, however, if you ever want to make a
really quick and delicious pie, your own pie filling is worth a little effort in the fall for a year
round treat.
4. A great idea for an on-the-go snack is dehydrated pears or apples. This is easily done and can
enjoyed in many places and kids love them!
5. Pear chutney quite delicious on a nice pork chop or ham steak. It adds a great sweetness with
the saltiness of the meat. Give it a try!
6. Juicing this fall fruit is another great option, and you can easily can the juice for year round
enjoyment. It stores well and always nice to have on hand.
7. You can also make a really delicious honey with the skins of the apples or pears. If you know
any vegans they can appreciate a different kind of honey. It does take a little more work than
some other canning processes, but it’s worth it for the delicious flavor this honey has.
8. Jam is easy to make and make great gifts.
9. If you have pear or apple juice, making jelly is easy. A little more mild than a berry jelly but still
good on a pb& j or a great pairing with some toast or biscuits.
10. Freezing pears is another option, if you don’t want to can them. There are many options and
ways to freeze them based on how you will use them.
11. I saved the best for last. Pear or apple butter is a real treat. With the help of a slow cooker you
can cook your mashed pears down over time and can the fruit butter for long term storage. It’s
definitely worth a try. Also, when the fruit is cooked down slowly, there is less of a need for any
extra added sugar.
