The pear

Crisp or buttery, juicy and softly perfumed, pears are one of my favourite fruits. They work well with meats and in desserts. They can be juiced, jammed, poached, baked, roasted, dried, frozen or just eaten out of hand. There are enough varieties to keep you from getting bored, so step away from the apples this winter. You'll be glad you did.
