In reply to JohnBull

Dat is very Guyanese

In reply to Drapsey

Nah they bear later and later every year - lovely fruit

In reply to Chrissy

No fruit makes a better jam. The fruit is great green (with some salt) or ripe, even in between. The juice is divine. My neighbour has given me permission to pick freely. I am supplying the long neck pears.

In reply to Chrissy

In reply to Headley

In reply to Headley

In reply to Headley

Off topic, but may I ask whether you lived in Hanover at any time?

Oilah, Johnbull, Chrissy,

I will wait until someone reports on the juneplum jam. Trust me it will not be a secret much longer.

Camos,

My cup runneth over. Long neck pears to stone dawg. Pity the season is so short.


Drapsey,

No sir, never lived in Hanover. Spent a couple weeks there doing the government's work many years ago.

In reply to JohnBull You have never had them stewed with sugar?

In reply to Chrissy

man you just live to make people like me homesick - my saliver glands are now in overdrive

In reply to Chrissy
Just an ok fruit..Juice is good though

In reply to Headley

Thanks for the response.

I thought you might've been an acquaintance (with the last name Headley) who initially lived in Hanover and migrated as a kid to mother England, and who eventually settled in St. Mary/Portland (??) after a teaching stint at Russea's.

In reply to JohnBull

In reply to Chrissy

You really are not a nice Person , YOU
just want to make those of us not in the Region feel pangs of Hunger for Golden Apples .

In reply to POINT

June Plum (or as we say in Bim Golden Apple) is one of de nicest fruit around. As a juice drink you can't find better or more refreshing. The unfortunate trend in Bim is that juice is replaced with water and too much sugar.

Golden Apple is BOSS.
