Our topic today is how to stuff a pear into a bottle...

As some of you know, Lauren and I made Pear Liqueur last year from the 100-year old pear tree that lives in the backyard of Lauren's grandmother's house in Brooklyn. I think we were both a little surprised by the results...pretty much everyone loves it. Had we known, we would have made a lot more. We've only got a few bottles left, which we're saving for the wedding in October. 

This year, we're planning ahead. Not only are we going to make more, we getting a little fancy by tying some of the bottles to the tree with the little pears inside (when they're so small that they'll fit in the hole, eh). The idea being, of course, that the pears grow inside the bottles, which then get filled with the booze that we make from the tree that the bottles are hanging from. 

We're hoping it all works out---the bottles would look so cool with a pear inside. That, coupled with an awesome label by this wonderful graphic designer I know...it will all be very impressive. The only thing missing, of course, would be free beer...

Two at a time, eh!
