Pears are relative of the apple. They are sweet, juicy, tender and have fresh scents when they are ripe. They are great for snacks and can be prepared in salad,desserts like pear cobbler and good for canning. There are several types of pear: Anjou, Bartlett, Bosc and Comice. We have one Bartlett pear tree in the yard. The fruit grows productively in this summer and some of them  dropped on the ground when they are fully ripe. The bugs, birds, deers and squirrel like pears so much. I picked some of the pears before they get really ripe and let them ripe at home. If you let them ripe on the tree, the bugs will get in them first.




And me with the pear tree.


What are good about pears? Pears have several health benefits. They are a good source of natural fiber, offer high potassium and contains vitamin C.
