Available all year round and undeniably delicious, pears are the nutritious sweet that you should eat. If you think of pears as the perfect fall fruit, well, you’re not wrong. But with more than 10 varieties of pears available throughout the year, you can almost always find one that’s ready to enjoy. Ranging in flavour from sweet to very sweet, pears are delicious. Though there’s nothing quite like biting into a perfectly ripe pear, there are so many other ways to use them. Try them as a substitute for apples in baking or even in a more savoury application – think juicy, ripe pears paired with gooey cheeses and on a grazing board.
