Recipes To Try This Autumn
There are thousands of varieties of pears, but British types are at their best in September through to October. They come from the same family as apples, so work well in recipes that make the most of both, and are as great in warming autumn meals as they are everyday desserts. Of course, you could simply enjoy as a snack or chopped into a salad, but here are some of our favourite ways to try something a little different with this sweetest of treats.
How To Store Your Pears
Pears won't stay as perky for as long as apples do, so store at room temperature if you need them to ripen up, or pop them into the fridge if they're already ripe - especially if you need them to keep for a few days before you rustle up your recipe.
Preparing Your Pears
Just like apples, pears need a good clean under the tap. Chop off any rough bits, and peel if you need to for your recipe. Then simply follow the cooking instructions and enjoy.
