Spring is just around the corner, and for you pear growers, here's a thorough step by step demonstration how to grow pears in a bottle. Ed adds a brandy after he collects his 'pear in a bottle' and hands them out at the holidays to just a handful of friends. Oh to be so lucky!

  Howto & Style

Is there a purpose for growing them in bottles?

[cookingupastory]

Yes! After they are fully grown (and removed from the tree), many add spirits to the bottle and give them as a gift. Some craft distillers fill the bottle with pear 'eau de vie', which is made from pears, and sell them. If you'd like to see a photo of what it might look like, there is a link in the description above.

Do you need to keep the pear from the bottle edge? I'm going to hang 20 from my tree (it's a big one, and high branches) just want the best tip's...I'm in London so still variable weather, what about rain in the bottle? sorry to be a pain...BUT I NEED TO KNOW MORE !!! Great Video, this is youtube at it's best I'll up load my attempts

[cookingupastory]

Be sure and give the pear plenty of growing room - so don't place the bottom of the bottle too close to the pear. If you place the bottle in a way that the opening points downward, any rain and/or condensation will naturally spill out. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing how the project works for you! [ps. I'm the filmmaker, not Ed; just sharing what I remember him saying during the filming]

[Happy Birthday]

can we see a finished bottle?

[cookingupastory]

Yes! click 'show more' (just under the video), and click on link just under the words 'FINISHED PRODUCT'. You can either see some photos of a pear in a bottle, or watch a different video where I visit a distillery where they make pear brandy and sell bottles (with the pear inside) of pear eau de vie in their shop.

There is a Greek proverb:The Devil had nothing to do and started to F... his children.

How do you clean it afterwords? I make my own liquor and a liqueurs and would love to do some pear brandy like this for gifts (and for me) but i know that you would have to clean it very well before using it

[wholoveslamas]
