Is it possible to make jam, jelly, pickle or chutney out of Perry Pears? I've googled the question and come up with nothing other than drinks, notably Perry. :?

Well I've rummaged through all me Tomes chantal, with no result except to find that perry pears are higher in tannin and acid than normal pears - but I bet you knew that anyway :roll:

Sorry to let you down old fruit :cry:

If I had some I'd use as normal pears, but taste frequently! :shock: :D

Hi Chantal,
I have never heard of them being fit for any other purpose than Perry.

Uurgh.:shock: Does that cover my opinion of it?

I've not picked any yet and they are so high up the tree a ladder will be required so they may not get picked at all. I'll have to think about this.:? Thanks.

Buy a pig, keep him under the tree, pear flavoured bacon. :D
