Summer is the perfect season for enjoying fresh, juicy fruits, and one of the highlights is the giant white pear.

One of the best ways to savor their natural sweetness is through a simple, yet delicious, sugar-soaked pear recipe.

Harvesting Giant White Pears

Giant white pears are typically harvested in mid to late summer. The ideal time to pick them is when they have reached a creamy white color and yield slightly to gentle pressure. Here are some tips for harvesting these delightful fruits:

  1. Timing: Monitor the pears as they grow, checking for the right color and firmness. It's crucial to pick them before they become overripe.
  2. Handling: Use a gentle twisting motion to detach the pears from the tree. Avoid pulling too hard to prevent damage.
  3. Storage: After harvesting, store the pears in a cool, dry place. If you have a large harvest, consider refrigeration to extend their freshness.
