  3. I followed you here from my blog. Thanks for commenting on our renovation. I just had to tell you that Hazel was my maternal grandmother's name. She taught me to sew (as did my mother) and how to make pie crust.

  4. oh..that's so cool about your grandmother's name..my mother and gran were great cooks and preservers so i'm sure my passion for both has been handed down..and my mother was an amazing sewer..another legacy..jane

  5. Hi Jane

    Just caught sight of your pear scraps experiment. I'm doing a similar thing with apple scraps. Strained off the apples yesterday and have definitely got an acidic cider vinegar. So exciting. I do hope you blog about your pear version again.

    Cheers

  6. Can't wait to hear more about your pear vinegar! Neither of my batches continued to ferment after I strained out the fruit, but I assume that the yeast continues to produce alcohol as long as there is sugar present. Keep us posted!
