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.
