Hosenshank pears
An heirloom variety of pears, long thought lost to time, was discovered by chance growing on Green Meadow Farm when Dr. William Woys Weaver visited and recognized it.
I pickled some a year ago and was looking for a way to feature them for awhile. We got to use them for our cider dinner with Ploughman Cider. The tree doesn’t have a big yield and luckily Coddiwomple Canning preserved some from this year’s harvest also. We paired it with our first course-
Venison Scrapple
pickled hosenshank pear puree, preserved hosenshank pear,
3 Springs Fruit Farm magness pear relish.
