Bartletts should be in markets this week, with Bosc and Comice pears coming soon. |
|
The Anjou, the Comice, and the tiny Forelle are better appreciated fresh. |
|
My preferred varieties are the red-green types such as Bartlett and Comice, though the classic Conference has its merits. |
|
Anjou, Red Anjou, Bose, Comice, Concorde, Forelle and Seckel will be picked from late August through mid-October. |
|
At breakfast, guests can choose between Treberva's Doyenne du Comice pear juice or Red Windsor apple juice. |
|
Another up-and-coming variety is Concorde, which was developed in England and is a cross between a Conference and Comice pear. |
|
But the Bosc, Comice, and green and red Anjou don't change color when ripe. |
|
The pear variety Doyenne du Comice is sweet, large and juicy. |
