Hi all,

I have been offered the fruit from a large Kieffer pear tree just for the
picking.

I have read they do not make a good fresh eating fruit.  Is that true, or
just an issue of proper ripening?

 

How are they as a canned product, as sauce, dried, etc.?  

I have experience with various types of preservation and would like to do
something with them.

Your thoughts, anyone?
