Hey Sis,
Here is the Pear Pie Filling recipe that I came up with. Turns out, there isn’t as many canning recipes online for Pie Fillings, once you move past apple. lol. I thought about doing Cranberry Pear Pie filling, as it is a personal favorite. But, then I remembered that Carmin and Nate aren’t big fans of Cranberries. So, I just made a simple, but tasty flavor that is sure to please almost everyone…we will still see about picky Mr. Carmin! Nate was there while I was making it, and liked it too.
