For thousands of years, the
pear has been celebrated as "the gift of the Gods," as quoted by the Greek
poet, Homer. And each variety has its special flavor and texture.
COMICE Creamy, sweet and intensely juicy; connoisseurs eat it
freshly sliced. RED COMICE The same juicy-sweet as the Comice
with a skin blushed red by the summer sun. D'ANJOU Sweet,
medium-grained pear with a great versatility. Add to salads, use in cakes and
pies as well as serve fresh. BOSC An elongated shape. Matures
to buttery texture and nutty flavor under a golden-russeted skin; ideal for
baking and poaching. SECKEL This American native is the smallest
pear on the market; fine-grained, ripening to candy-sweetness.
FORELLE Freckled and blushed with red, this is an outstading pear
for slicing and serving fresh.
