Pears are like apples, but easier. They are delicious on-to-go snacks, and cook down quickly into sauces, crumbles or cakes. Naturally sweet, they are perfect for naturally satisfying a sugar craving while providing nutritious fibre, water, and vitamins C and K.

There are countless ways to enjoy pears, as they are versatile and combine well with other fruits and even veg (a few slices of pear is a delicious addition to a green salad!)
Here are a few suggestions:
Pear Sauce
Simply peel and gently cook pears, adding cinnamon, nutmeg and (if you’re feeling daring) a pinch of cumin and fresh-ground black pepper. The warm spices are a delicious contrast to the sweetness of the fruit.
Pear Smoothie
Combine peeled pears with chunks of fresh or frozen banana, a generous spoonful of tahini, non-dairy milk and a fistful of spinach for a fresh, sweet, delicious smoothie.
Pear on Toast
Top a slice of lightly toasted rye or sourdough bread with sliced pears, crumbled blue cheese and a smattering of rocket. For a vegan option, use peanut or almond butter.
Baked Pears
Pears baked in red or white wine makes for a delicious, fat-free, vegan dessert. Though of course, you can add cream or ice cream for an extra rich touch!
