Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pears are best picked when hard and green (underripe). They finish ripening after picking. Plan on ripening pears at home for a few days before you use them.
  • tip 2
    Anjou pears are a great fall and winter pear. They are juicy when ripe but hold their shape well.
