How to Select
Look for pears that are mature and firm.
The best indication of ripeness is to Check the Neck™ by applying gentle thumb pressure near the stem, which will yield slightly when the pear is ripe.
How to Store
Let them ripen a day or two at room temperature and when they give slightly to pressure they're ready to eat.
