Pears come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors from tiny Seckels to long-necked Boscs to colorful Red Bartletts. |
In Five Covered Boscs the artist, with great precision, carves five Bosc pears from wood, and then hides them beneath a wooden carving of a satin cover. |
It's pear season, and the perfect time to branch out from familiar Boscs and Bartletts into lesser-known territory. |
Bartletts are crunchy I think, and Boscs a little more tender, so I figured using them both might be kind of interesting. |
Lastly, Boscs and Bartletts can be arranged into an artful and edible centerpiece for your Christmas table. |
With short, stout stems, they ripen slowly and are great for baking and poaching, like Bartletts and Boscs. |
