We know that tangy Granny Smith apples cause many more reactions than the many mild apple varieties, but what about pears?\u00a0 At present Woolworths are promoting pears by giving a free copy of the beautiful book \u201cAustralian Pears\u201d, Volume 3 when you buy a kilogram.\u00a0 Get yourself one! In the front pages it contains pictures of all varieties with notes on their taste and how to best use them.\u00a0 \u00a0I strongly recommend you use this to note which pears you like more and whether you feel there is any difference in tolerance. The book notes that the Winter Nelis are very sweet, as are the Bosc. \u00a0Packham and Josephine are considered the tastiest with their \u2018rich flavour\u2019. The Red Anjou is reported to have a \u2018mint after taste\u2019 so we can wonder if that means it contains more salicylate. Remember the wise little boy who noted that fruit has a \u2018smell on the outside and on the inside\u2019 so maybe some of these flavour differences are more in the peel than the flesh. What do you think?<\/p>\n

As a further note \u201cAustralian Pears\u201d contains beautiful recipes with wonderful photos. As their chefs what to make the dishes very tasty they have lots of high salicylate ingredients, but with a little thinking you can adapt them, or use them to test a different flavour which you may use occasionally. For example you could make the Pear and Passionfruit Jam with half the passionfruit and use Myer rather than Lisbon lemons. Enjoy! \u00a0\u00a0Joan Breakey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
