There’s a lot you can do with pears. Bake them into tarts, roast them until they’re warm and golden, throw them into a pear salad or turn them into a delicious pear jam for dolloping onto pikelets. The choice is yours.
In our best pear recipes, we celebrate the fruit in sweet and savoury recipes so that you can double down the pear recipes when you have a surplus of them when they’re at their best in late summer and autumn.
Here are our very best pear recipes for seasonal cooking.
