How To Make cooked fresh pears

Step 1

Peel the fresh pears (about a dozen regular pears, a few more if using the harder, smaller cooking pears)...

Step 2

Take pears out of juice and cool separately. Add a few drops of lemon juice to pears will keep them from turning brown.
Step 3

Put 3/4 pears to 1/4 juice in a quart size freezer bag and freeze to use for Country Fresh Pear Pie!
