Bartlett on the tree

Bartlett

Bartlett pears have clear, yellow skin when ripe. Their flesh is juicy and sweet with a fine-grained, smooth texture. They’re downright delicious on their own and, because they keep their flavour even after heating, they’re a natural for canning.

Bartlett features

TASTE: sweet & buttery

FLESH: almost translucent

BEST FOR: snacking, baked desserts, jams, jellies
