Pear William Each
The William pear sold individually rather than by the bag, for those who want just one or two at their best. Soft, aromatic, and with a floral, almost perfumed sweetness that makes it one of the most distinctive pears of the year. The summer pear at its finest.
William pears are at their best from January through March when Australian summer orchards are at peak production. That is the window to enjoy them.
Look for Williams that are just beginning to yield to gentle pressure at the neck with a golden-yellow skin that may carry a red blush. Bring them home slightly firm and let them ripen on the bench for a day or two. Once ripe, eat within a day as they go over quickly.
Eat them fresh, slice onto a cheese board with blue cheese or camembert, or poach in a light syrup.
