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
them in whatever stage of
them as he takes them out
some that are fully ripe.
quite ripe.
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
c sn m?ke in a winter pear just out of storage.
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.
