Pear Josephine Each
The Josephine pear is the autumn and winter pear for those who like something a little different. Long and elegant in shape, with a smooth green-yellow skin, it is sweeter and more aromatic than a Packham, with a fine, almost buttery texture when fully ripe. A rewarding pear for anyone who takes the time to ripen it properly.
Josephine pears are at their best from autumn through winter when cool growing conditions concentrate the sugars. That is the time to look for them.
Look for pears that are firm with smooth, unblemished skin. Bring them home firm and ripen at room temperature until the neck gives slightly to gentle pressure and a sweet fragrance develops. Once ripe, move to the fridge and eat within a few days.
Eat them fresh, slice onto a cheese board, or enjoy simply with a little cream. Their delicate sweetness is best appreciated with minimal interference.
