A Pair of Pears
by jillbcooks 9/25/2009 2:13:00 PM

Since our fifth wedding anniversary, for which the traditional anniversary gift is wood, my husband has had the idea to buy me a tree. We are celebrating our eighth wedding anniversary next week, and we just bought some pear trees to mark the occasion. We learned a lot about trees as we researched options that would work in our yard. We also learned that pear trees need to be planted in pairs, making pear trees even more apropos anniversary gifts.

We probably won’t get pears until a couple years from now. In the meantime, I’ll get my pears at the market to make my favorite pear recipes.

Pear Ginger Upside Down Cake
