Any way you slice a pear, you’ve got all the ingredients for a tasty, nutritious treat. Cubed, planked, poached or grilled, pears pack a potent punch of flavor, color and even fiber (6g or 24% of your daily recommendation in one medium pear)! Let our chefs show you the way!

• Scott Szekretar’s Pear Tip

  "Add to the visual appeal by cutting pears into interesting shapes, like the pear ‘diamonds’ in my featured recipe." ~ Scott Szekretar

• Kelley Swenson’s Pear Tip

  "Be sure to add a bit of acid (lemon) or calcium (such as NatureSeal) to pear cocktails to allow the pear to keep its brightness and color." ~ Kelley Swenson

• Mark Porcaro’s Pear Tip

  "Simmer pears in savory broths and spices for an unbelievable taste and texture." ~ Chef Mark Porcaro

• John Van House’s Pear Tip

  "For the perfect pear ‘cups,’ cut a pear in half lengthwise, then use a melon baller to scoop out the core. Fill the empty pear for a beautiful presentation." ~ Chef John Van House

• Craig Richards’ Pear Tip

  "Pair pears with sliced gourmet cheeses to make a simple, yet elegant, dessert or antipasto." ~ Chef Craig Richards

• Brian Piasecki’s Tip

  "Don't be afraid to experiment with pears by teaming them up with spicy components - the natural sweetness in pears is a great compliment to spiced dishes." ~ Chef Brian Piasecki

• Scott Dolich’s Tip

  "Buy pears in varying stages of ripeness so you can enjoy them over a few days." ~ Chef Scott Dolich
