Black Star Farms “pear in a bottle”

Black Star Farms pear in a bottle
How do they get the pear in the bottle?

In Spring, a bottle is tied over a budding branch in the pear orchard with hopes that a Bartlett pear will grow to maturity inside the bottle. The pear is harvested, cleaned and washed, and the bottle is then filled with pear brandy from the same orchard and hand labeled in this special limited presentation.

This “pear in the bottle” is a true collector’s item and can be prominently displayed. The pear becomes calcified over time, and is not consumed. As the bottle is emptied but while the pear is still covered with brandy, simply purchase a bottle of Spirit of Pear and refill the “pear in the bottle” for many years of enjoyment.
