--ooOoo
On these sultry days of late summer one of the hest-selling items on the
fruit vendor's stand is a ripe, golden pear tender juicyand just right for
eating. At least that's the way it looks to me although I've never actu-lly
checked with a fruit vendor himself.
But if you ever happen around one of those open-air fruit stands some hot
September daywatch a few minutes and see if pears don't sell like the proverbial
hot cakes on a chilly day. See how many of the passersby just won't bo able to
resist that come-and-get-me look and aroma of the ripe pears. They'll buy a coup
le
or three- then hurry on to eat them in some more private spot.
So since this is the season of the year that not only fruit stoiids but
groceiy stores and home orchards all over the country are featuring pears I'm devoting this broadcast to them.
2ut first before I give my pear news and suggestions let me read you something I cane across the other day about the value of all kinds of fruits in the
diet.
"Today, fruits are no longer considered a luxuiy. They are an investment
good nutrition. And, although nutrition experts do not applaud the judgnient of
yoiingsters who clinb trees to eat green apples-or peaches or pears they do symP''^thize v/ith their craving for fruit.
"^ey say that a ripe fruit or a glass of fniit juice is suitable betweenHeal food f
or many active, growing children. Naturally,, this between-r.ieal bit

- 2 should served at the same tine each daj'' and discontinued if it spoils the appe
tite for the next regular nerJ,"
"Wlien there's a moderate amount of money to spend for food, ever^^ raemher of
the faiiily should get on the average a"bout five servings of fruits and vegetah
les
a day, For instance, supposing the family were made up of two moderately active
grown-ups a hoj^, 10 and a girl of 8. They would eat a grand yes.rly total of
nearly 3,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables. And if they had more than a modera
te
amount to spend they'd not only have a greater variety of fruits and vegctahles
but they would get more servings of them a day as well."
Of course, every homemaker knows that one way to make fruit money go further
is to take advantage of seasonal big supplies and low prices. And that brings me
back again to pears.
"Sight now pears are in abundance on markets from Seattle to Savannah from
Sra Diego to Maine. Coming to market in large qucjitities are pears from Oregon
and
Washington and California the three important commercial States. The two biggest
Eastern pear States, New York and Michigan, are o-lso shipping in voluine. And t
he
country over local orchards are noxv or soon will be supplementing shipoed-in
supplies."
Here's the way to identify the perfect eating pear according to a man who
'las graded and inspected thousands of them.
"A pear that's ready to eat will bo soft but not mushy. At the base of the
stem it -/ill yield a little to a slight pressure of the fingers. It'll be a dee
p
strau yellow in color and 'neither wilted or shriveled."
And that's enough about pears before they get to the table. Nov/ a tip or
^"0 from the Federal Bureau of Home Economics about fixing pears to eat. Natural
ly
^ t need to tell you how tempting they are stewed or baked and served ho t in
Slistening spicy sirup or baked and served cold with a garnish of whipped cream

- 3 or Just a tit of cream cheese to go with them,


"For salads and finiit cups pears are one of the "best qualified of all the
fruits. They have a hland flavor that gets along well with tart fruits. Their .
crisp texture makes them ideal with juicj'- fruits. And their pale color is an e
xcellent foil for highly colored fruits. In return the colorful Juicy and tart
fruits highlight the goodness of the pear,
"The acid fruits such as oranges and grapefruit or a bit of lemon juice

do another thing. They help to keep sliced pears from discoloring as they stand
in fruit cups or salads."
That same harmless hut unnecessaiy discoloration will take place in canned
pears if you don't take the following precaution. After you've peeled the pears
don't let them stand around that way until you're ready to cook them. Instead ma
ke
a solution using 2 tahlespoons of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt' to a gallon
of
ater. Let the pears stand in this until they're ready to cook. They they won't
discolor,
And speaking of cojining pears the best way to do that is to precook them in
sirup from 4 to 8 minutes first before you pack them hot in glass jars or tin ca
ns,
^is cooking will shrink the pears a little and make them easier to pack into the
containers. It will also cut down on the processing time. Pears, like practicall
y
!^1 fruits, are best processed in a boiling-water bath."
That's all my pear talk for today but I'd like to remind you again that in
l^thi country as a whole, this is a good year for pears. And if you'd like detai
led
-tions for canning pears as well as other fruits and vegetables, you'll find
~in Farmers' Bulletin 1762 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The title
-araers' Bulletin 1762 is "Home Canning of Fruits, Vegetables, and Meats".
