Food, food culture, food as culture and the cultures that grow our food

Dear Annet,

Dried pears, straight from the orchard and into the dehydrator, Debra Solomon, culiblog.org

Thanks for bringing those most tasty and juicy pears to the food co-op last pickup day. We bought 4 kilos and the next day had already eaten an entire kilo! The last 3k we dried because they were threatening to go soft. Just look what they turned into! Golden, chewy, hint of vanilla, sticky, full of flavour!

Please let us know if you’ll be harvesting again soon, because I’d love to go with you and help pluck. Of course I’m happy to dry a bunch for you as well; dried pears bring a huge amount of happiness into the home.

Merçi, verheugnis alom en tot straks op een pluk dag,

Debra
