Pear-Sauce

Last week-end,
I stopped at my local apple orchard to pick up some apples.
The owner and I were talking and
I asked him if he had any pears left.
He said, "Wait right here, I'll be right back."
A few minutes later,
the owner returned with 2 huge bushel baskets full of pears.
He asked me how many I wanted and then said,
"I'll give you all of them for $5.00.
Do you want them?"
Well, heck yeah!
I came home with 2
bushel baskets full of pears.


Most of the pears were ripe and
needed to be used right away.
 "Pear-sauce" immediately came to mind..
