TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. July 9, 19S8 Journal Prints Pear Salad of Medford Woman Rogue valley pears are spot lighted in the July issue of a na tional magazine. The Farm Jour nal The article explains how the food editor of the Journal was introduced to '"Medford Salad" by Robert Fowler, formerly of Medford and now field editor for the Farm Journal. According to Russ Jamison, public relations representative of the pear industry, the salad was first prepared at Rogue Valley Country club in Medford. It was devised by Mrs. C. F. (Betty) Gordon, 915 South Holly street, to be served for a meet ing of the Rogue River Valley Traffic association, a group of pear packers and shippers. Club manager, George Harrington, re ports the salad was well re ceived and has since added it to the salad menu. When notified that her recipe had received national mention, Mrs. Gordon explained that Medford Salad was served the first time because Robert Root, president of the pear associa tion, had jokingly requested that the club should serve some thing appropriate to the group. Since it was at the peak of the cornice pear season, she decided to use that variety as the base for the salad although she states that fresh bartletts will prove just as tasty. Mrs. Gordon's recipe is as fol lows: Arrange lettuce or water- cres on a salad plate; place half a peeled fresh cornice pear in the center and top with a dash of thawed orange concentrate Mrs. Gordon says, "It's as sim ple as that, tasty too, and for calorie-counters, it's the perfect salad. The Farm Journal food editor adds several variations to these basic directions to add in terest and vary the flavor. Mrs. Gordon has other recipes for serving pears and although she no longer is employed at the Rogue Valley Country club she still sends them new salad ideas and recipes for unusual dress ings to highlight the flavor of Rogue Valley pears.
