Did someone say pie? Did you know that pears are an ancient fruit that came from Western Europe, Africa, and Asia. Pear remains have been found in ruins near Lake Zurich. In Rome, Pliny the Elder recommended stewing them with honey. In The Odyssey, Homer says pears are “a gift from the gods.”
While I do agree with Homer, my bet is always on a Walnut Grove PTA pear pie. Get them while you can, they are available Sunday July 28th at the Courtland Pear Fair. $15.00 for a whole pie. Better buy two, they freeze great.
