Your Home Agent Fresh Oregon Products Make Excellent Gifts By ESTHER KIRMIS Oregon's pears, apples, nuts, cheese, holly, and canned Pa cific Coast salmon make won derful Christmas gifts to send to those friends and relatives who are not able to raise or catch them. Yours truly has found this the easiest way to do Christmas shopping and to please members of the immediate family of the middle west. A recent item in the "Spot light," food marketing paper published by OSU, listed quite a few interesting facts about Oregon pears. Have you ever wondered why pears at the grocers are seldom ever ripe? It's because pears, like bananas, develop best flavor when picked green and allowed to ripen off the tree. There's a knack to selecting good pears from the grocers' dis play but it's not pinching or squeezing. All that does is bruise the fruit. You can help prepare yourself for the arrival of the new con ditioned ready-to-eat pears by learning the color that is to be expected of each variety when it is ripe. Some varieties are in top condition while still a green or greenish-yellow color; others may be yellow and yet be too immature for eating. Some var ieties are characterized by a highly russeted skin. There are over 3,000 varieties of pears, but only about ten are important commercially. The three major winter pear varieties all grown in Oregon are these: ANJOU (pronounced "An-jo") this pear is light green and changes very little ripe. It is thin skinned, very juicy, smooth tex tured and has a rich, spicy fla vor that makes it a favorite for fresh eating and salads. In heav iest supply from November through March. BOSC (pronounced "Bosk") Is distinguished by its symmet rical body and long tapering neck. It is a rich golden brown or susset color when ripe tender, buttery and sugar-sweet. The Bosc is a favorite for baking or broiling as well as fresh eating. In heaviest supply during Oc tober, November and December. COMICE (pronounced "Com eece") celebrated for its size, fragrance, and flavor, the Corn ice is yellow-green, often with crimson blue. It is the perfect pear for salads and fresh eat ing. The Cornice has become famous and well known to many as the "gift pear." In heaviest supply during November, Decem ber and January.
