The crop is expected to be good. The first variety of Ontario pears we see on the market are the Clapps-excellent for eating out of hand. Around September 9, Bartletts will begin to arrive, and, around the first week of October, Anjou and Bosc pears come to market. Select pears that are green and firm, but yield slightly to gentle pressure at the stem end, suggest the food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. They are not ripe at this stage but can be ripened at cool room remperature. Remember that pears ripen from the inside out, so don't wait until they're soft on the outside. A ripe pear will be greenish yellow, will give slightly to pressure from the palm of your hand, and have a fresh pear aroma. Store ripe pears uncovered in the refrigerator, Wash when ready to use. You're in for a treat when you bite into a fresh, juicy pear. The skins are quite thin and tender, so that peeling is not required. Pears are easy to serve in other ways, too. They add a delicate flavor and texture to fresh fruit If you wax your ash trays they will clean easier and odours won't linger.
