In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle.
The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way.

How did the pear get inside the bottle?
???

The only way that I can think of would be to place the bottle in the tree with the fruit bud inside and allow it to grow inside the bottle. It would be a long process that way though.

How right you are!!!

The pear grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree.
The bottle is left in place for the whole growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.
