These blushing beauties of the fruit world are a blight resistant version of Bartlett pears, which ripen later so you get to enjoy delicious pears late into the season. Slice and add to a salad with dried cranberries and arugula; cube and cook into a blue cheese and walnut sauce; bake a delicious tart. Store on the counter until desired ripeness, then place in fridge crisper drawer to extend life.
