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.
Fresh pears are good . . . good
for you . . . easy to eat . . . easy
to prepare . . .
When you select pears, you
might want to keep the following
"pear arithmatic" in mind:
1 lb. 3 to 4 medium-sized
pears.
1 lb. sliced or diced pears,
about 2 cups.
2 to 2 lbs. pears 1 qt.
canned.
Small lug (about 25 lbs.) 10
to 12 qts. canned.
Standard box or large lug (1
bushel, or about 50 lbs.) 20
to 25 qts. canned.
Fears May Be Ordered.
Shipped Direct
A well known department
store in Portland advertised these
Oregon's products in last Sun
day's paper. Most items are pre
paid in the continental USA (ex
cept Hawaii and Alaska).
Commice pears were advertised
for a box of 12 to 14 for $5.10;
Box of 18 to 24 for $6.15; and
a half box for $10.25. ,
