Update on Pears

I cut up some of my harvest of Seckel pears from the tree outside the kitchen door and sautéed them in white wine with three boneless chicken breasts. After the chicken was cooked, I reduced the wine and pears into a sweet sauce and topped the chicken with it. Not bad.

Yesterday I peeled and cut up some pears and added a touch of good black Jamaican rum to them and then made a banana bread using my mother’s recipe plus the pears. It was sensational, perhaps the best banana bread I’ve ever made.
