For centuries, people have enjoyed eating pears. It's documented by the Greeks that the well-known poet Homer (8th century B.C.)
called pears a "gift of the gods." Evidently, the Romans agreed and used grafting techniques to create more than fifty varieties. They
were also responsible for introducing the cultivated pear to other parts. of Europe. As a result, hundreds of varieties have been
developed since ancient times.

The Bartlett par variety originated in Berkshire, England in the 17th century by a schoolmaster named John Stair. Stair sold some of
his pear tree cuttings to a horticulturist named Williams who further developed the variety and renamed it after himself. The pair is still
called the Stair-Williams pear in some parts of England.

After crossing the Atlantic to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Bartlett Pear trees eventually came out west in the covered wagons of
"49ers" heading for the Great California Gold Rush.

Today, the Bartlett is America's favorite pear for both eating and canning.

More than 5,000 varieties of pears are grown throughout the world. Lucky for us, our sophisticated transportation systems make pears from around the world readily available. You can find many kinds in the market, including the French comice, red and golden Bartletts, boscs and anjous. Selecting pears: Look for ripe, supple fruits or ones that are just about to ripen. They should be free of bruises and soft spots. If they are too firm, they can be placed in a paper bag and allowed to ripen at room temperature for a day or two.
