    Pears 12 Gluten-Free Recipes title image

    As the weather cools pears begin to show up in the marketplace. When I was growing up I remember my Great Grandmother sending us a box of pears from Harry and David every winter. I loved opening up the sturdy, familiar mailing box to find the plump, green pears peeking out of their individually wrapped foil cocoons sitting primly in pleated red paper cups. It was always a great surprise, especially after a few days of ripening, to sink my teeth into the soft white flesh with pear juice running down my chin.

    Fall Pears multi colors

    Fortunately pears are more readily available all over the U.S. these days and chances are in your local supermarket you are seeing all sorts of varieties making their annual appearance. They are a cool weather fruit so will stick around from now well into the spring.

    Each variety has a slightly different appearance and flavor profile. From the Red D’anjou with the classic pear shape and crimson tone, to the miniature favorite of mine the sweet little Seckel Pear that stands about 2 inches tall and can be eaten in a few bites. The sophisticated flavor of pears lend themselves to many sweet and savory fall and winter dishes, besides eating them solo.
