For many, the Bartlett pear carries a true pyriform pear shape, a rounded bell on the bottom half of the fruit, then a definitive shoulder with a smaller neck or stem end.
Bartletts are extremely aromatic pears, and have a definitive sweet pear flavor.
Just as Yellow Bartletts change color while ripening, so do Red Bartletts; changing from a dark red often with light vertical striping to become a bright red.
Usage: Delicious as a snack, in salads or desserts, great for canning, beautiful in fruit baskets.
