LINDA MOREL | JE FOOD COLUMNIST

WHICH PEARS TASTE BEST?
The Comice variety wins hands down. Their flesh is

silky and creamy, distinguishing them from Boscs,
Bartletts and Anjous, which, at times, are starchy. Better
still, Comice pears are at their juiciest and most sweet
during November and December.

With a nod to its French origins, the word “Comice” is
pronounced “kuh-mees.” Of course the French would give
the world the perfect pear, one that is sassy yet elegant.

Since they are large, round and short-necked, and
exude a lovely green skin with a pink blush, Comice
pears should be the belles of the produce aisle. But they
bruise easily, discouraging many Americans from buy-
ing them. This is a big mistake. You can’t judge a pear by
a couple of scars. Once you take a bite into their gushing
nectar, you won’t settle for mealy texture again.

More than apples, which are an early fall Rosh
Hashanah fling, pears are the essence of deep autumn.
Serve them for dessert or late in the afternoon with fine
quality cheddar and an aged port. These versatile pears
are delicious in pastries as well as in savory foods, and
are equally good in salads or pies. Recipes made with
Comice pears belong on every Thanksgiving table.
