Welcome to October! This is my very favorite time of year and to celebrate I'll be posting a month-long series of my favorite things. I did the same month-long series last year and loved how it made me focus on positive, uplifting things that I enjoy while sharing them with you. I'll be posting weekly giveaways, just like last year, and I hope you join me in sharing your favorite things via social media. #fallfaves2014
Let's kick this off, shall we?
I love love love pears. Did you know that there are lots of different varieties beside plain old Bartletts? These beauties are Starkrimson and I can't even tell you how lovely they smell and taste. This box is looooong gone but I keep thinking about how delicious they taste.
Some of the pears became pear butter that we'll enjoy until next fall when I can a new batch. This stuff is seriously good and tasty on bread, pancakes, ice cream, waffles, biscuits, and the list goes on. So yummy! Fun fact, I worked in pear sheds packing pears for two summers in high school. While it ruined my relationship with pears for several years, it also schooled me in pear sizing (80s are big and 120s are small) and some varieties. Boscs are great for baking since they hold their shape and Bartletts are good for eating fresh since they're super juicy.
Do you have a favorite fall fruit?
Love your October favs month. Brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteYum, those pears look amazing. I love all this Fall especially the foods! Pumpkin anything is high on the list.
I'm a pumpkin fanatic, too! I think pears and pumpkins are nicely complimentary.
DeleteI loveeee pears! I love them in juices, smoothies, dried... does this make me sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump? haha
