Hi Carol


I harvested my pears very early to prevent attack by insect pests. What do I do with these green, awful tasting, woody pears ?

Dear Anne

thank you for this important question. You can harvest your pear while green, in fact this is the best way to do it. Pack the green pears into a paper bag and store in a cool dark place, I use my fridge, but you may have a nice cellar. After a month or so they will ripen on their own.
