These are the most beautiful, and best tasting pears I have ever tasted!...Yes, my pictures. A friend dropped 3 dozen off at my home. I shared them with my friends, and ate quite a few myself. They are an eating pear. OH! sooo delicious! I have never seen them at the stores.I hope you can find some. I will have to call around.... When they are red, they are at the eating stage,and the skin gets real thin. So with the six left, I decided to make a bread. I added a can of pie apples,and made 2-1/2 loaves! For more information on this wonderful pear, Google: STARKRIMSON PEARS
