Farm Focus: Prepare A Pear Recipe Contest!

For some good old fashioned fun and to embrace the scrumptiousness our pears lend to prepared food, we are sponsoring the Prepare A Pear recipe contest! Last fall, Mark Bittman urged New York Times readers to reconsider the pear for cooking because it is more versatile than the apple. He came up with ten great salad recipes featuring pears (http://nyti.ms/UcCGix). We’d love to see how you are preparing your pears for the breakfast, lunch, or dinner table.
