12 Ways With Pears

As fall arrives, pears make their way to the top of the seasonal fruits list. There is a huge variety of shapes and colors, each with its own distinctive flavor. Look out for the best dessert pears if you're making the likes of Pear and Almond Tart or classic Poached Pears. If you are lucky enough to grow your own and have a few less-than-perfect examples, turn them into a punchy chutney, or treat yourself to a Pear Purée cocktail.
