Hale Groves Pears
At Hale Groves, we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality, juiciest, ripest, premium pears, which are grown in one of the few orchards in the Pacific Northwest that shares our similar passion for the freshest fruit available. Our pears are harvested at their peak when fully mature so they are the best pears for eating. They are packed in secure containers to prevent bruising or blemishes so they arrive at your door ready to serve and enjoy.
Choose from all different kinds of pears! We offer five different types of pears: Comice Pears and Bartlett Pears are the most popular. Comice Pears are available in November, and they make a fabulous pear gift for yourself or anyone on your holiday list. They also are an ideal fruit addition to your seasonal table. Known as Doyenné Du Comice, Comice Pears were actually a French variety that was first grown in the mid-1800s. Today, Comice Pears are considered the sweetest and juiciest of all pear varieties. Comice Pears have a round, typical pear-shaped body; small neck; and cool, crisp green color with a splash of red. The sweet flesh of the Comice is scrumptious freshly sliced on its own or a beautiful and tasteful combination when paired with soft cheeses. Make sure to not overcook Comice Pears because they are already juicy and soft. Hale Groves pear gift baskets make incredible holiday gifts that our customers continue to rave about and reorder every year.
Bartlett Pears were discovered in 1765 by a schoolmaster in England named Mr. Stair (the Bartlett was first referred to as Stair’s Pear). Bartlett Pears also have a typical pear shape and a light green color that changes to more of a yellow as they ripen at room temperature. Available in September, these pears are aromatic and succulent. Bartlett Pears are great for snacks, canning, adding to salads, slaws, sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, desserts and even served with cheeses, nuts or on crostini as an appetizer. Feel free to substitute Bartlett Pears in recipes that call for apples in the ingredient list.
Pears from Hale Groves can be served in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Serve premium pears in panini sandwiches with turkey, ham and your favorite type of cheese; roast them in the oven with honey and top with nuts or granola; use them as a topping on your favorite pizza; toss them in a salad or slaw; add them to a cheese platter, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal or in a variety of desserts or enjoy them on their own.
Best Pears Gift Options
Choose from all different kinds of pears! When you receive a pear gift basket from Hale Groves, use the pears as soon as possible, or refrigerate them. Refrigeration will delay further ripening but will not stop the ripening process completely. Remember, pears need to ripen at room temperature, so do not refrigerate unripe pears. Once the gourmet pears are sliced, use immediately, or squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice over them to prevent browning.
One medium pear has 100 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates and 6 grams of fiber.
