D Anjou pears are great for eating alone or for baking with.
D Anjou pears are one of the best pears for baking foods with that call for pears.
Some common baked goods that are made with D Anjou pears are pear cakes, pear cobbler, pear pies and pear bread.
You can also bake the D Anjou pears themselves or make some D Anjou Pear Juice as well.
The flesh of the D Anjou pears also holds up well in heated applications like baking, poaching, roasting, or grilling and they are delicious when sliced fresh in salads or eaten as an out of hand snack.
If you have a blender you can also make baby food with the D Anjou pears.
I have an 8 month old son who loves to eat mashed up D Anjou pears for his baby food.
I make a lot of his baby food homemade which is healthier for him than most other baby foods that you buy in stores.
Red Anjou pears have a mild and sweet flavor and I find the Red Anjous pears to be a bit sweeter in taste than regular pears.
Although there's not much difference in the taste between Red Anjou pears and regular pears but to me the Red Anjou pears taste slight bit sweeter.
When ripe the Red Anjou pears have a very smooth texture to them and abundant juices.
You can also ripen Red Anjou pears at room temperature so if you pick some or have some Red Anjou pears that are not fully ripe then allowing the Red Anjou pears to sit out at room temperature for a few days or so will allow them to ripen fully.
Red Anjou pears grow in the Pacific northwest where the climate is perfect for the growth of the pears.
However you can usually grow Red Anjou pears in just about any climate.
