Answer 2

a cider press is a good start. you chop up the pears into a few pieces and crank away.

If you aren't careful, home made cider will ferment whether you want it too or not.

I know that putting some in an airtight thermos for about twelve hours will sometimes make it fizzy (no kidding!).

I agree with the person who reccomended going to a wine making site. They have all the tools you need to keep from making a mess.

For pear brandy all you need to do is buy some regular prandy, cut and peel the fresh pears and let them soak in it for a couple of months. I don't know how to make the others, we're trying to do the same, we have tons of pears too.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

Google "wine making" and see where it takes you. I don't like wine, but PEAR wine actually sounds kind of tasty!
Good luck.

Answer 6
