F.A.Q.
Keeping
Pears at Home
Nova Scotia pears
taste great, but their storage life is limited.
Here are a few
hints for proper pear care:
- Pears bruise
very easily, so handle them with care.
- Purchase firm
pears and allow them to ripen for a few days at room temperature.
- When ripe,
pears yield to gentle pressure applied to stem end.
- Store ripe
pears in the refrigerator and use within a week.
- For cooking
and baking purposes, use pears that are still firm and
a bit underripe.
