Forelle Pears

Recognize trout
Forelles (pronounced Forelles for-EL) are one of the smallest pear varieties, slightly larger than the Seckel pear. Their symmetrical bodies are often bell-shaped, starting at a small rounded base and tapering evenly to a short neck. Their trunks are usually long, straight and narrow. A unique feature is the red lentils or freckles that characterize this strain. Their meat is moist and crisp. seasonality
Forelles is probably one of the pear lovers' best kept secrets. Overall yields are the most limited of any commercially grown pear in the Northwest. However, this does not reflect the demand for trout by that kind of enthusiast. From September he's on sale until January, so don't miss your chance to pick up this bite-sized treat if you find it on the market.Maturity
Forelles are one of the few pear varieties that change color as they ripen. Attractive red freckles called "lenticels" remain vibrant, but the underlying green skin turns bright yellow as they mature.Like all pears, trout ripens at room temperature. The ripening time of the trout depends on its ripeness at the time of purchase. It may take several days for the trout to start showing maturity. But waiting will reward you with a beautiful change in the fruit's appearance and a deliciously sweet and tangy flavor accompanied by a satisfying crunchy texture. The unique beauty of Forelles
Forelles are one of the most colorful pears. At maturity, red lentils appear in sharp contrast to the bright yellow skin. A bowl full of mature trout is a beautifully edible centerpiece, especially during holidays and other special occasions.For cooking

Exceptions are those that demonstrate the unique characteristics of trout, such as colorful salads and other fresh uses.However, trout is a good choice as a snack pear because of its small size.
