Chef's Tips
- Choose pears that are ripe but not overripe for best texture
- Anjou and Bartlett pears are naturally softer than Asian varieties
- Cut just before serving to prevent browning
- If pear is very firm, let it ripen for 1-2 days at room temperature
- Leave skin on for extra fiber unless child consistently rejects it
