This time of year the Nashi pears ripen and are ready to eat. This fruit is a delectable luxury that requires eating fresh - they don't preserve well and aren't particularly good for baking. (They are also tasteless if you buy them in the stores.)
However.....several of our neighbors still have trees in their yards from when the subdivision was a farm. So last evening our doorbell rang and there was a neighbor couple stopping in with a heavy boxful of nashis.
Even though I'd already brushed my teeth for the night, I had one. (Yes, I brushed again.) And again consumed one for breakfast. And will for lunch and dinner over the next however long it takes to munch our way through the supply.
We'll share with our kids and friends and there will still be enough to sate our appetite for this gem of a fruit. Thanks, Neighbors. We love your generosity.
