There's an autumn chill in our orchard now as the later harvest fruit begins to ripen. As many of you are already enjoying, the incredibly sweet and juicy AnaSan and EliSan varieties are at their peak. For those who've been waiting, LilySan is available to order.

LilySan, our impressive "giant" Asian Pear variety, is beautiful for baking! Refrigerate your Asian Pears as soon as they're delivered and you'll be rewarded with delicious fruit that lasts a month or longer in your crisper drawer.

Deliciously inspired during her recent visit to our farm, Chef Judy Joo created several dishes with our Asian Pears. Are you looking for an amazingly versatile dish for your holiday gatherings? Chef Judy's Festive Asian Pear Compote, made with both fresh and dried Asian Pears, is blended with ginger, vanilla, and citrus. Enjoy this wealth of flavors on simple comfort foods (pancakes!), atop a decadent cheesecake, or with your favorite cheeses. Follow chef online, @judyjoochef for more great recipes.

Thank clients or customers with gourmet Asian Pears this holiday season.
