Questions about Williams pear flesh without skin
How can you tell when a Williams pear is ripe?
It is ready when the narrow end near the stalk gives slightly when pressed gently. Williams pears ripen at room temperature; once ripe, refrigerate them to slow further softening.
How do you poach a Williams pear?
Peel and halve it, remove the core, then simmer gently in water or spiced syrup for about 15–20 minutes, until a knife slips in easily. Keep the liquid below a rolling boil so the pear holds its shape.
How do you stop cut Williams pear from turning brown?
Toss the slices with a little lemon juice as soon as you cut them. If you are packing them for later, keep them in a sealed container in the fridge.
What goes well with Williams pear?
Its fragrant sweetness works with blue cheese, walnuts and rocket in a salad, or with ginger, cinnamon and vanilla in a dessert. It is also a classic choice for pear tart and poached pears.
Can you use Williams pear instead of apple in a crumble?
Yes. Peel and core the pears, cut them into chunks and use them in place of apple; they soften readily, so bake until just tender rather than letting them collapse. A little lemon juice helps balance their sweetness.
Can you eat Williams pear raw?
Yes. Wash it, then eat it whole or slice it; peeling is optional, though peeled flesh is handy for purées, desserts and people who prefer a softer texture.
