Questions about Bartlett pear
How can you tell when a Bartlett pear is ripe?
Press gently near the stem: it is ready when that narrow area yields slightly, even if the rest feels firm. A ripe Bartlett pear is fragrant and juicy; its skin often changes from green to yellow as it ripens.
How do you ripen Bartlett pears quickly?
Leave them at room temperature in a paper bag, which traps the ethylene they release and speeds ripening. Check them daily; once the stem end gives slightly, move them to the fridge to slow further softening.
How should you store Bartlett pears?
Keep unripe pears at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate ripe ones and eat them within a few days, as their soft flesh can quickly become overripe.
How do you poach Bartlett pears?
Peel and halve them, remove the cores, then simmer gently in water or wine with sugar and spices for about 15–25 minutes, until a knife slips in easily. Keep them mostly submerged so they cook evenly.
What goes well with Bartlett pears?
Their sweet, juicy flesh pairs well with sharp cheeses such as mature Cheddar or blue cheese, and with walnuts in a salad. They also work well in pear crumble, tarts and upside-down cakes.
Can you use Bartlett pears instead of apples in baking?
Yes: use them in crumbles, cakes and tarts, but choose pears that are ripe yet still firm so they hold their shape. Bartlett pears soften faster than many apples, so start checking for doneness a little earlier.
How many calories are in a medium Bartlett pear?
A medium Bartlett pear weighs about 177 g and contains 112 kcal. Its juicy flesh is a handy snack eaten whole or sliced.
