But I have seen some wonderful and unique pear recipes floating around lately…I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you. I just can’t help it, that is exactly how I enjoy them. Personally, I like to eat my pears in a salad or straight up. I feel so much better about giving someone a box of fruit over candy or cookies (I know this isn’t probably a popular idea!) but to me, there are SO many sweets around us during the holidays, a box a fruit is a welcome treat to our taste buds and our bodies. Everyone loves these pears! My favorite reason? To me, they represent a gift of health. ![]() They also make the perfect gift for those family members who are hard to shop for. They are great to send to those who are out of town and you are missing during the holidays. They seriously make the best gifts … for a couple of reasons. Stunning right? I started gifting Royal Riviera Pears to family and friends the last couple of years. These pears are truly grown and hand picked with such care, I was so impressed. I was introduced to these pears a couple of years ago when I was fortunate enough to be invited to Oregon to visit with Harry & David and actually walk through their pear fields and meet with some of their growers. ![]() ![]() ‘Tis the season for Harry & David Royal Riviera Pears! Have you tasted one of these pears? If not, boy are you missing out on a major treat. ![]()
