π Before You Checkout
What you need to know before you checkout at the grocery store or market:
It's hard to find much variety in pears at the grocery store beyond Bartlett, D'Anjou, and Bosc, if you do see them, I'm a big fan of the Comice pear. Just make sure they are not ripe when you buy them as these ones go south really fast. If you head to an orchard or a farmers market that has pears have a ton more options.
My two favorite pears I have found these places are Aurora and Harrow Sweet.
