The Bosc Pear is a large russeted pear with white flesh and a rich, delicious flavor.  Bosc Pears must ripen off the tree.  You can tell when they are ripe as their skin turns from a brownish green to a golden hue, and the flesh around the stem will wrinkle slightly.

Jam is a great way to add diversity to your breakfast.  Add a spoonful to your yogurt or oatmeal; or you can go the more traditional route and spread some on your toast or muffin.
