Host a pear-tasting party. For discerning palates, a quartet of heritage pears. Test pears for ripeness by applying gentle thumb pressure to the stem end. If it yields readily, the pear is ready to eat.
Twelve in all, you receive three each; Beurre Bosc: Belgian in origin, sweet-tart and creamy textured...the very best baking pear with enormous dessert potential; Imperial Comice: From France, honey-sweet, serve slightly chilled and peeled once ripened; Blushing Beauty: Blushed, dazzling and fragrant; Bartlett: Discovered originally in 1765 by a schoolmaster in England named Mr. Stair, the Bartlett was first referred to as Stair's Pear. Enoch Bartlett of Dorchester, Massachusetts propagated the variety under his own name in America; this versatile pear is great for baking, roasting, poaching, salads or eating out of hand.
