Pear can add add flavor to famous dishes


Although pears are both gorgeous and bountiful, you may not fully appreciate the fruit if you are only serving them as a snack.
Pears’ distinctive flavors are evenly delightful as ingredients in entrees.
Depending on the variety you decide, a pear will infuse your dish with a hint of spice - imagine cloves or nutmeg - or a suggestion of honey. Use this pear in an entree salad, top with a curry dressing.
Comice, heavy-bottomed pear, a squat, is valued for its balance of sugar and acid. It’s a wonderful accent to sugary potatoes or winter squash in a puree.
