21 quarts of pears

A month or so ago, Merijane told us about an opportunity to buy pears from the church farm. They were the ones that didn't fit in the machines, so they sold them. Merijane, Krista and I all bought a 20 lb. box of them. On Tues. Krista called and said that they were ripe and ready to can. I had something going on every night until Thurs. and was hoping that they would be patient and wait for me. Tonight, Mike and I canned them and they turned out great! I haven't done any canning for YEARS, and this year I also did a couple of batches of peaches. I am feeling pretty domestic!
