Pears are consumed fresh, canned, as juice, and dried. The juice can also be used in jellies and jams, usually in combination with other fruits or berries. Fermented pear juice is called perry or pear cider.

Pears will ripen faster if placed next to bananas in a fruit bowl. They stay fresh longer if kept in a fridge.

Pear wood is one of the preferred materials in the manufacture of high-quality woodwind instruments and furniture. It is also used for wood carving, and as a firewood to produce aromatic smoke for smoking meat or tobacco.

We love pears at our house and are looking forward to using these silver placecard holders and cookies cutters this autumn season.
