Caramelized Pears

It's all in the pear and today, I will focus on four different pear types;

Anjou - sweet with a splash of lemon-lime, perfect for baking, salads and snacking.

Bosc - woodsy with honey sweetness, excellent for baking, broiling, poaching, snacking.

Concord- sweet with a vanilla flavor, great for snacking, roasting and cheese pairing.

Seckel - super sweet, perfect for baking, snacking, salad and canning.

Pears are sodium, cholesterol, and fat free and naturally hydrating. One pear can have as much as 6 grams of fiber, that's more than an apple or banana. Then there are the additional benefits of potassium and vitamin C. It is paradise to pair with pears. https://www.usapears.org/pear-nutrition/
