AN UPDATE ON MY TWO (so far) CLOVED PEARS.
I love these as much as I love making the traditional orange and lemon pomanders.
Up 'til this year I never saw anything like a cloved pear.
Perhaps I am living a sheltered life,
which I highly doubt.
When I saw Marly's I knew I had to try my hand at it.
She has been very generous and patient giving instructions on
'How to Make' these lovely and delightful pears.
'How to Make' these lovely and delightful pears.
Thanks so much Marly (Samplers & Santas) for sharing this enjoyable tradition.
The one on the right is my first big plump and juicy (NOT a Bosc) pear and I thought I'd never do another. It was labeled 'Bosc' (what do I know about pears as they are not one of my favorite fruits for eating) so I bought it.
Next time shopping I found a real 'Bosc' pear - properly marked, and I knew instantly that the first one was NOT.
The pear on the right is the 'real Bosc'. Certainly a more wonderful, taller pear shape.
It has been about 4 days since being cloved and appears to be doing very well. I did not roll and rub this one around in ground cinnamon and cloves as I did shorty (now about 4 weeks old) and I do prefer the look. Looks like it is shrinking nicely.
Happy Holidays!
Thanks for visiting ...
Peace & Blessings to all.
Oooooo Barb, I love them!
