The apples have great flavor. Pears are delicious. Still plums.
The Seckel Pears are ready for harvest. These little Pears are a treasure. Research the Seckel pear and you will learn that they are picked when turning color and can be ripened at home or later using refrigeration.
Seckels are believed by many to be the only truly American variety of pear grown by Orchardists. They are particularly treasured on the East Coast. They were discovered in the early 1800’s. The pears moved Westward with people who traveled by covered wagon.
Seckels are tiny pears, with chubby, round body, small neck, and short stem. Their skin is usually olive green, but frequently exhibits a dark maroon blush that sometimes cover the pear. Sometimes, the pear will then turn yellow.
Snack-sized Seckels added to lunches are appreciated. Particularly by Children who love their sweet flavor. Seckels are small enough to be canned whole. They are excellent in salads or roasted.
We love them with goat cheese and walnuts.
