I have two 50-ft pear trees on a property that I just bought and I thought about cutting them down because the pears are small and not worth eating. I figure if I can make wine I might keep one of them but it would be a cold day in h*** that I would pick out all the seeds so why I decided to fix up a batch with the seeds in. I quartered the small mostly hard pears and then boiled them to make my mash, some seeds were cut in half during that process.
I just read that pear seeds can be toxic if eaten in large quantities, is this something I should worry about when I used 5 lb of these pears with seeds to make 2 gallons of wine?
