I wish I could let you taste them, they taste heavenly. <br />@ quilly : Another beautiful and sweet memory of yours. I love it. <br />@ Valerie : Thanks for the compliment Valerie, I'm enjoying yours too! <br />@ Wanda: Is that so? I was SURE I commented. <br />@ hip chick : Yes, possibly. But I do have enough jam to share some though? And it's delicious! <br />@ Loree : Yes, they add a little something, don't they? <br />@ Joyce : True, they did . And they taste wonderful. <br />@ Jacki : They are. <br />@ Mar : They are an old fashioned forgotten fruit are they? Having dealt with them in my kitchen yesterday, I can see why. It takes a lot of work!<br />@ James : Feel free! <br />@ kaye : Lou answered your question in one of his comments. They look like pears, but they are very very hard. You cannot eat them straight off the tree, they need to be baked or poached. They are an old fashioned forgotten fruit. <br />@ Lou: I wish I could give you a taste of one. But not like this. They NEED to be cooked first. <br />@ Lou: Thanks Lou! I did not know their origin! <br />@ Melli: They look a lot like pears, but they are much much tougher. Trying to explain what something tastes like is very difficult. There is a little bit of apple, a little bit of pear, a hint of melon, and then it all depends on the spices you add, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla, some wine, honey .... <br />@ Carletta: Thanks! <br />@ Betty : Trying to explain what something tastes like is very difficult. There is a little bit of apple, a little bit of pear, a hint of melon, and then it all depends on the spices you add, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla, some wine, honey .... <br />They are related to apples and pears, but you unlike pears, you cannot eat them raw, you HAVE to cook them. <br />@ Yogi♪♪♪: Thanks!
