Another way this piece of land feeds us: winter pears. Probably Boscs, off an old tree in the abandoned garden. They'll need to sit for a long time, slowly ripening as the weather grows cooler. Winter "keeper" pears don't ripen on the tree -- they need to be plucked green from the branches, gently so as not to bruise, and then put away carefully. To be taken out months from now when their sweetness has blossomed in cold storage, and will be most particularly savored.
