But, this is how you'd do it. It's much simpler than you'd think but you do need to focus while you're doing it.

Seems easy enough, but we don’t really eat canned fruit either. I believe I have a five gallon bucket of them. It seems like a lot. I’ve never had pear cobbler or crisp either. I hope we like it. Ok, this question seems to have an obvious answer - do I wait until the pears are ripe to put them in baked goods or to can them? I’m guessing yes in order to maximize taste. If I can some of them, I’m gonna have to look further into “processing in a water bath.” I have used water baths in a lab setting but not sure how that translates to a kitchen or what types of equipment I need.
