Pear Mix (Red D’Anjou, Bosc, Moonglow)
Grower: Dawson’s Orchard
Store: Pears ripen from the inside out, so by the time the outside is soft and ripe the inside may be overripe. Ripe pears should be stored in the refrigerator. Leave unripe pears at room temperature to induce ripening. To determine if the pear is ripe, press the neck of the pear by applying gentle pressure with your thumb to the stem end of the fruit. Once it gives slightly it is ready to eat.
