pickin' pears

I love good neighbors! Ours just asked if we would like to pick some pears. Of course we aren't going to pass up free food, so the kids picked and I started the process of turning them into something usable. I decided to try my hand at pear jelly, I heard it was just like apple. Because my venture with jellies went so badly this year, I figured we could use the jelly it the cabinet.I am the world's worst jelly maker. I have never been successful at making it, it just won't jell!  So, looking for a recipe I ran across a site from a u-pick orchard and it said to just use the recipe from the pectin package of whichever one you are using. Said that should make a differance. I did just that and you know what it worked! I made jelly!
