    Spartlett Pears

    Published: Oct 12, 2010 · Modified: Jan 17, 2024 by Eric Samuelson

    You have heard of a Bartlett pear but what about a Sparlett pear? Learn about this pear variety that rhymes with the most popular pear!

    Spartlett Pears

    What is a Spartlett Pear? A pear variety that is similar in color and appearance to a Bartlett pear but it larger in size.

    The most popular pear in this country by far is the Bartlett. When you picture a pear in your mind that is probably the pear you picture. So it's no wonder that people would try to improve upon it. One of the those attempts created the Spartlett. It's similar to a Bartlett in appearance and shape. Size wise, the Spartlett is about ⅓ larger than the Bartlett.

    Just as a Bartlett does, a Spartlett becomes more yellow as it ripens. You may find some pears with red blush on them like you see in the picture at the top. This mean the pear was in more direct sunlight.

    🍂 When Are They Harvested?

    The harvest of the Spartlett begins in early September.

    ⭐ Review

    Here is what I think of this pear variety on a scale of 1-10.

    Texture5
    Pear Flavor4
    Sweetness4
    Juiciness6

    I didn't think this was a very good pear for eating. It isn't very sweet and the texture and flavor is just average.

    I think this pear would be good in cooking or for poaching. It has a good amount of acidity and isn't overly sweet. So if you plan to cook or poach some pears pick these ones, but for eating straight up there are many other good ones out there.

    🍐 Try These Pears

    Here are some other pear varieties worth checking out:

    • Bartlett
    • Comice
    • D'Anjou (Green and Red)
    • Seckel
    • Asian Pears
