The Conference Pear 🍐

They have a sweet, fruity and floral flavour and are edible at multiple stages of maturity.  When consumed slightly underripe, they have a firm, crunchy, and chewy flesh. As they mature, the flesh softens into a melting, buttery, soft, and tender consistency. Ripe Conference pears may also exhibit a faint, pink-hued centre.

Did you know…?

Conference pears were named after their introduction to commercial growers through two conferences in the late 19th century. Conference pears won top prizes in both of the mentioned events, and the pear’s breeder decided to name the fruit after the conferences it was recognized through around 1895.

Conference pears are very versatile - they pair well with cheeses, great in salads, fruit bowls and can be poached, roasted, baked, or stewed!
