Is that “pear pressure” my teachers warned me about?
My wife and I bought a dehydrator and tried all kinds of different fruits. Pears are our favorite.
0.5 mins between being a rock and being mush
Sometimes both simultaneously, somehow
Maybe because pears I never know what I’m going to get, it’s usually a grainy piece of shit
i did this a month ago, ate a pear and was like wow i havent eaten a pear in decades… just strange that you just dont come across pears that often.
Harvest season for pears is like september october. Remember they’re high in aspirin-like compounds!
What does one do on a daily basis when working at the national pear council?
I know this is a shitpost, but to answer honestly… the last pear I had was when I was a child, and I’m in my 40s now.
I still remember their wonderful taste and I haven’t been intentionally avoiding them. I just never came across an opportunity to eat one since my childhood. I’ve primarily consumed apples and oranges over the years and I can’t even remember seeing pears at the store.
Maybe I should go check out my local grocery store and buy a few.
Highly recommend pear dessert recipe my family makes on some holidays and birthdays:
Tosca butterscotch pears:
1 can (850g) preserved pears halves
100g almond shavings
50g butter
1/2 dl sugar
1/2 dl golden syrup
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp milk
Good quality vanilla ice creamSet your oven to 200°C
Drain the pears and put them with the flatter/inner side up on an oven safe dish (DON’T get rid of the liquid from the can, it’s delicious and worth saving for whatever)
Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan and bring it to a boil
Stir in the almond flakes, flour and milk
Let it simmer until it thickens
Spoon the mixture over the pears
Put the oven dish in the oven until the mixture is golden brown on top
Serve with the vanilla ice cream
(Tosca is a Swedish word used for deserts with nuts, mostly almonds, and caramel/butterscotch)
DON’T LET ME EAT PEARS.
The Onion Newspaper fucking slaps. Everyone should get a subscription, well worth it.
I remember reading like a Williams-Sonoma catalog that had several “pear of the month” clubs, and wondered how so many people were so into luxury pears.
Since iCarly raped my childhood
Man up and grow a pear
Because they’re jisr “OK”, and they give me gritty sand papery poop.
Pears internal textures feel like fuzzy apples. And not as good.
