Pretty Pears

Pears are just now getting ready to come into season. Don't forget that if you have a tree, a pear will not ripen completely on the tree.

Pluck your pears from the tree when they look fully formed. You can then place them in a fruit bowl or paper bag until ripe.

One they are sufficiently ripe, store in the refrigerator.

You can check a pear to see if it is ripe by pressing gently with your finger near the stem. It should give just a little.
