Subject: "Winter Pears". Information from the Bureau of Home Economics, U. S.
Department of Apiculture.
ooOoo
3Mot so many Fridays ago along in September I "brought you some news about
the "big supplies of fresh pears that were on the market at that time. Well, tod
ay
three months later I have more news about pears.
But what I have to say this time is about winter pears--the 1 at er varieties
the ones that keep so well in storage that we find them on the market fresh
all through the late fall and winter. These winter pears have a lot in common
with the better known Bartletts that ripen in the early fall. But while the
3?.rtletts are the beauties of the pear family these fall and winter pears hide
their good qualities beneath a more modest exterior. For that reason, shopping
for late pears is a somewhat different proposition than shipping for 3artletts.
But more about that later. Here is the pear news I was speaking of a
moment ago. I'm quoting this from a release of the U. S. Department of Agricultu
re.
"Prices for fall and winter pears have been low so far this season. And
probably supplies of winter pears available for domestic consumption will be
as large as they were last year when pear production reached an all-time high
in this country.
"The crop of winter pears harvested this year was not quite so large as
l &amp; st year's. But , on the other hand, exports of winter pears have fallen
off
considerably this season since the beginning of the European war. For,
ordinarily, England and other European countries are the best customers we have
f or these late pear varieties."

E-HC - 2 - 12/1/39
Speaking of winter pear production that's a very specialized industry
in this country. For they can be grown commercially in only a few states where
climatic conditions are right. Center of this winter pear industry is located
the three far-western States California, Oregon, and Washington. There,
since about 1920 the industry has "been expanding steadily.
Gradually in that time also--winter pears have he come more and more

popular with meal planners. And here are a. few points ah out the la.te varietie
s
that are interesting from the consuming angle.
"The first thing the huyer must establish in her mind as she goes shopping
for winter pears is that is is not a good idea to judge by looks alone. For,
unfortunately, to look at them, you'd have no idea how mellow and very juicy,
1 altogether good to eat they are underneath their skins.
"Another helpful thing to know when buying winter pears is the season of
the year when each is at its best. Here are the seasons for the four mean
varieties of winter pears. If you will notice as I mention the dates all are
on the market sometime in December.
"First for the Bosc (Bosk). This pear is at its best from the first of
September to about the fifteenth of December. The Bosc is a large pear with a
characteristic long, tapering neck. When it is ready to eat it is yellow with
cinnamon brown markings. If you want a pear for baking try the Bosc and buy
it slightly underripe.
"Another important winter pear is the Cornice (Eo-mees)', This is in season
: ron the first of November to the last of January. It is a large pear with a
smooth creamy or pale yellow skin. Its flesh is fine-grained and has a character
I 1 stic sweet, perfumed f labor. Among pear lovers the Cornice is well-known fo
r
1 its eating quality.

R-HC - 3 - 12/1/39
(an- jew) another large pear with a smooth, c re amy yellow skin. The Anjou is
in season from the first of No vein her on up through April.
"And the last of the four main varieties to come into season is the
'"inter Nelis. This is a small pear. When it is ripe it is green and yellow with
various amounts of russetting that give it a mottled appearance. Winter Nelis
is in season from the first of December to the last of May,"
If you buy pears from one

If you want them for cooking he'll have some not

But probably you'll have to oversee all or part of this ripening of


the winter pears yourself. You may find the directions on the wrapper that
comes around the pears or you may not. But it is important to know how to ripen
the pears at home in case you do get some that are not yet fully ripe.
Here' s the way to do it.
"Simply let

the pears stand at ordinary room temperature in the dining


living room until they become slightly soft at the stem end, and
to the pressure of your fingers. When they are ripe they may also
lighter in color and more fragrant than they were when you got them.

Opening the pears this way may take from 4 to 5 days. But it is well worth

the waiting when you see the difference that a few days at the right temperature

And those are all the pear particulars I have time for today. There's
a lot more to be said, of course especially about how good winter pears are in
w inter fruit cups in sal ads-- and cooked in numerous and various ways.
