I have found with most pears, they change very suddenly. Like EJ, I like pears with a bit of bite, but enough juice to be luscious as well ! ! !
Freshly peeled pears is one of my favourite puddings, with just a dab of icecream, or preferably clotted cream . . . :o
Sorry if I have got you drooling ! he he he
