Harvesting summer pears

in HiveGarden7 days ago

Hi to all! I have already written about my rich orchard while the fruit was green, I say rich because everything bore fruit in great abundance.While touring the orchard, I noticed that some of the pears had fallen, and in large numbers. I had intended to harvest them later, but seeing that the pears were ripe in large numbers, I returned home to get the containers.First I picked the summer ones, which ripen first and are full of juice. Of course I couldn't resist eating them. When I was little, when I was eating this pear, the juice would run down to my elbows.In our country, this pear is called VODENJAK because it is full of juice. And it is very resistant to frost.

This pear is called SANTA MARIA.It also ripens early and its fruit is very light. When eaten, it looks silky as if there is flour in it. We call it flour pear.It's very tasty, and we mostly just eat it, we don't make anything out of it. It can also be dried for cakes.

I wrote about this pear, the WILLIAMS pear, which is extremely good for brandy, but also very tasty for eating. I have a red and a yellow Williams pear. The yellow pear is not ripe enough yet, but it is still excellent for eating.So now you can see what it looks like when it's matured

This pear is called a KALUDJERKA or winter pear because it only ripens in October. That is, it is not ripe even then, we pick it and store it in wooden crates, and it turns yellow during the winter and can then be eaten.It is resistant to frost, drought and pests, and does not require any care.

After we picked all the ripe pears, of course there were still plenty left to ripen, we picked the small ones that fell from the tree and immediately processed them at home so they wouldn't be thrown away. I helped my wife and we immediately made juice, and put the rest to boil. We also made homemade jam.

Wow pears! I like how you care for every fruit, even the small ones that fall. Making juice and jam at home sounds special. I want to try it.

The jam is better when quinces are added, but they are still green.

The VODENJAK looks so perfect and beautiful, exactly what you would find in the shops.

You'll be making a lot of jam and juicy with so many pears. What else do you make with them to make sure they don't go to waste?

We make compote and I don't know what it's called in your country, I'll explain it like this: we bring sugar and water to a boil and cut the pears into cubes and pour lemon juice over them so they stay white. When the sugar and water are thick enough, I add the pears and cook without stirring for about half an hour. I pour it into jars and it's a pleasure for me with my morning coffee. I make it with almost any fruit, the rest of the pears go into brandy

I'm not sure, I think it's also called compote. You're going to end up with a lot of them! Do you sell them? Or eat them all yourself?

@dragan1957 What beautiful pears! They are the result of your hard work and the love you put into planting them. How I would love to have those fruits in my little garden. But there isn't room for a tree in my space. I hope you continue to enjoy and harvest with so much love.

Yes, that's real wealth.

It’s wonderful to hear about your orchard and all the different kinds of pears you grow. It’s interesting to learn how each pear has its own special qualities and times to harvest.

Yes, it really is a nice feeling when you reap the fruits of your labor.

Very healthy fruits, I love all of them,
wait ooo, did you say they are pears? But they look like guavas to me.

Your country has many good fruits
Please what is the name of your country @dragan1957

We all love pears. Michael especially!
