### Pears, the Good Kind

Pear is one of the most important fruit crops in the world, and the most common kind of pear is the European pear, Pyrus communis, which originated in China and Russia about 5,000 years ago. While most pears are grown in the Northern Hemisphere, they have introduced to the Southern Hemisphere around 3000 years ago and are now a major food crop.

Because pears have many cultivars, this guide focuses on a group of varieties that is good for baking and eating out of hand. When buying fresh pears at the grocery store, look for firm fruits with glossy, bright colors and smooth, unblemished skin. Pears are ripe when they are soft enough to be lightly squeezed.

Pears ripen when they start to change color, from green to yellow to a deeper green, then to red, then finally to a yellowish-red. This can be confusing, as a green pear when fresh looks much like a slightly less ripened red pear. But, of course, green pears are unripe.

Pears do not keep well for very long. They should be eaten as soon as they are ready to eat. For recipes that call for pears to be cooked, cut them into halves or quarters, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Remove them from the heat, drain them, and then drop them into ice water to stop the cooking and to retain their shape. They are cooked when they are tender.

### What to Buy and What to Look For

Many people prefer the look of Bartlett pears for eating out of hand. They are the most common and widely available in the United States, and they keep well in storage. But if you like something else, you can find many delicious varieties—from Anjou pears with their velvety red flesh to Bosc pears with their greenish-yellow flesh to Bartlett pears with their golden skin to Asian pears in yellow and red with velvety smooth skin. Buy pears when they are firm and have been recently picked and are ripening.

### How to Choose and Store

The easiest way to tell if a pear is ripe is to touch it. Gently squeeze the fruit to see how firm it is. The less ripe it feels, the softer it will be. Pears should be soft when purchased and still feel slightly firm when they are on your cutting board. If pears are not firm enough, they won't ripen well in storage.

As with tomatoes, you can check to see if a pear is ripe by examining the skin. If you can see the yellowish color of the flesh, the pear is ripe, and if the skin is glossy and brownish, the pear is unripe. Unripe pears ripen within a few days to a week, but ripe pears will keep for months in the refrigerator.

If you have trouble finding ripe pears, you can take a shortcut. There are many varieties of **nectarine pears.** Nectarines are picked a little too soft and tend to turn brown when cut. They are best stored in a paper bag in the refrigerator crisper. Once a pear is picked, it will keep for a week or so.

### How to Use

Fresh pears are great just plain and will keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator. Peel them just before you use them, and use a good sharp knife to slice them. If you plan to use them in a fruit salad or tart, slice them ahead and then cover and store them in the refrigerator.

Pears are also wonderful in a dessert. Try them roasted and then served with vanilla ice cream.

You can also make wonderful desserts with ripe pears by slicing them, mixing them with butter and sugar, then baking the mixture. These desserts are perfect when you have company. Serve them with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or even plain yogurt.

Another wonderful dessert that can be made with ripe pears is a pear upside-down cake. Trim the pears and then cut them in half. Spoon the yolk of one egg into each half and turn it over in a circular motion until the egg becomes cooked. This may take a few minutes. Be careful not to break the yolk! Serve with vanilla ice cream.

### Canned Pears

Pears in syrup and canned pears are both good, although they are more economical when you buy them canned. It is important to remove the pits from the canned pears. You can use canned pears as a breakfast food or as a filling for dessert tarts, or in place of canned cherries for a fruit dessert. If you freeze the fruit and then thaw it, it will keep for months in the freezer. If you want to freeze the pears without thawing them, be sure to label them and store them in the freezer. I usually freeze them with a piece of vanilla wafer stuck to them to make them easier to find.

Self-pollinating pear trees.

To the left is the tree, with the blossoms on it (I’m assuming the red thing is a blossom). You can see the leaves under the tree – it looks like a green leaf, but it’s brown (and leaves of self-pollinating trees are often white).

What’s strange is the shape of the blossoms – two half circles. It would seem to me that the wind would blow in towards the center and then away again, giving two rounded shapes. However, this shape is repeated on the blossoms of all the trees, and they are all aligned in the same direction, so it seems like it must be some sort of design.
