Come fall, the pears are perfect. Our local varieties such as Luscious and Moon Glow may not look pretty, but they are sweeter, more flavorful, and more versatile than those shipped in from afar. Pears are even more versatile than apples in the kitchen and present a world of options—both savory and sweet. We’ll explore the different local pear varieties with recipes for preserving, roasting, and pickling pears. Students will leave the class with house-made pickles, jam, and chutney.
