Juicy bell-shaped fruits
The fruit we used in this week’s upside-down cake happen
to be Bartlett pears (aka Williams pears or Barts). This type of pear is
very popular among consumers in Europe and the United States. Bartlett
pears, with their typical bell-shaped fruits, are native to Europe. Enoch
Bartlett brought the pear to the American colonies and began selling trees in
the late 1700s. Expect a very sweet and crisp flavor from a ripe Bartlett
pear. Farmers also use these pears in making canned pears. Select
fruit specimens with golden skin and an aromatic scent. You can also
purchase green Bartlett pears and then wait for them to ripen at home.
Remember that pears are a good source of fiber.
