Pear varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common pear varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Bartlett (Williams)	Fresh eating and canning: the classic sweet, juicy pear that softens as it ripens.
Bosc	Poaching and baking: firm, dense flesh that holds its shape under heat.
Anjou	All-purpose: mild and sweet, good raw or cooked, and stores well.
Conference	Poaching and tarts: the UK standard, firm and elongated with reliable texture.
Comice	Fresh eating and cheese boards: very sweet and buttery, fragile when ripe.

Which should I pick?

For poaching and tarts, Bosc and Conference hold their shape and stay firm when cooked. No Bosc? Anjou is a reliable all-rounder, good raw or baked. For fresh eating and salads, Bartlett (Williams) and Comice are sweet and juicy, best when ripe and soft.
