This Fall a good friend of the family went out and picked at a local orchard once the season was finished. He visited my husband at work, and asked if I could use a few Apples and Pears. I told James, of course!

For about a week James came home everyday with two big bags of fruit. I think I ended up with about a 1/2 bushel of Apples and 1/2 bushel of Pears. Time to find some recipes for all of this fruit.

I see a lot of Apple Pies in our future, and I had better bake one for our friend to say thanks!
