Pears
Pears are sweet, juicy fruits with a soft, buttery texture and subtle floral flavor that come in several varieties, including crisp and tart Bosc, ultra-juicy Bartletts, and elegant, mellow Anjou. Besides being delicious, pears are full of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for a feel-good snack or recipe ingredient.
I often enjoy pears sliced fresh, paired with quinoa and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a wholesome breakfast, or tossed into a vibrant fruit salad. They also make a beautiful addition to green salads with nuts and a tangy vinaigrette.
If you’re looking for something a little more indulgent, my Pear Cranberry Crisp is the answer. The pears bake up tender and juicy, the topping gets golden and crisp, and the whole thing feels like a warm hug in dessert form. As you can see, in a healthy kitchen, pears are as versatile as they are tasty.
