Giving our BA a workout with mostly meals. I'll have to try citrus. Thanks

Grapefruit sounds interesting, what will you do with it? I love the idea of limes!

Our moonglow pears this year were a bit more firm than that, but they cored very well with a paring knife. We peeled and sliced ours, till we were completely sick of dealing with pears. Conservatively one tree made 10 bushels of pears. Freeze dried pear pie filling too

I used to use a paring knife on my pears as well, but these pears were so ripe I found that it was much easier to use the melon baller to remove the seeds. I definitely understand what it is like to process too many pieces of fruit. We used to have a full orchard with 24 fruit and nut trees until the vicious "Cutworms" got under the bark of all but two of our trees and destroyed our entire orchard. we now have only one apricot, and one apple tree left. I normally use a paring knife for pears as well, but when they are over ripe like mine were this year, it is much easier to use a melon baller. It easily removed the seeds without removing too much fruit and it was much easier than when I used the paring knife on the apples. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching my video. I hope I am able to provide useful content, and if it is not helpful, I hope it is at least a little bit entertaining. Have a great day.
