My house does not sit on a large section, unfortunately, we try to make the space we have count so have crammed in as many fruiting trees and bushes as possible. This autumn we were rewarded with more pears than we knew what to do with. Consequently I spent a lot of time bottling and freezing pears for breakfasts and deserts for the winter months. Yesterday, I set to and made some Pear & Vanilla Crumble Muffins for my kids lunch boxes. They love these and it is a great way to get their 5 plus a day.
