You guy's got these across the pond?
I made a five gallon batch Sunday used 30lbs of the pears that I smashed in a hot water boil 8lbs sugar pectic enzyme nutrient and 1118 yeast. and a gallon of 100 percent blueberry pomagranate juice.
They look like pears but taste like strawberry or blackberry mixed with a watermelon. The wine is smelling like blackberry does when is is fermenting. This could be a very spine wine. The little thorns are really no problem just don't handle bare handed. Tongs of light leather gloves are all you need
