So I found a couple of deals on Harry & David high rent district pears. I ordered a gift thingy for my kid and had it shipped immediately.
Then I found a double box of nine, therefore 18, pears but asked to have them delivered a while from now, when I'm having a house guest, which would mean help eating the pears. (I wanted to try them, but knew that we couldn't eat 18 of them in a reasonable time.)
Got one of those Your Order Has Shipped notices today. I called and told them I don't WANT them now...I want them in a couple of weeks. They were very nice and said that they couldn't stop the shipment, but all I need to do is call a week before I want them and they will send out an additional 18 pears so that they arrive when I asked for them to be delivered.
The question:
What the hell should I do with way more pears than we are going to be able to use right away? I've never canned pears...I think I have some canning jars...my grandma used to can spiced peaches...I've canned apple pie filling, applesauce and apple butter back when we had an apple tree...but PEARS? Thirty-six pears?
Suggestions?
