Pears
​
Pears are typically harvested in late summer to early fall when they reach maturity, but their exact harvest time varies depending on the variety and growing conditions.
​
Pears are often picked when firm and allowed to ripen off the tree at room temperature, as they can become overripe and mushy if left on the tree too long.
​
Once ripe, pears can be stored in the refrigerator for several days to extend their shelf life and maintain their freshness.
​
Pears are delicious and nutritious fruits that offer a wide range of culinary possibilities. Whether enjoyed fresh, cooked, or baked into desserts, pears are versatile ingredients that add sweetness, flavor, and texture to a variety of dishes.
