Pear A perfectly ripe pear is bursting with a gentle flavour and lots of sweetness. Whilst there are more than 3,000 pear varieties grown worldwide, the two most popular varieties grown in the UK are the ‘Doyenne du Comice’ and the ‘Conference’ pear. ‘Conference’ pears now account for more than 90% of UK commercial production. Coined Britian’s favourite pear, Conference pears can be consumed firm or fully ripe depending on your preference and how you’d like to use this fruit in a dish—fresh or baked. 2
Chutney, while traditionally made with fruit, can also be made to cater to evolving palates offering a mixture of flavours to dishes. Chutneys now feature a wide range of ingredients including seasonal vegetables and sweeteners like honey mixed with elements of heat. Chutney works well when paired with soft mould cheese, amongst a variety of other dishes, offering layers of texture and flavour that can be unexpected. 3 Vegetable Chutney
