The secret to these holiday-season treats is that they are Comice pears

Good fruit tastes brighter and less cloying than anything humans could concoct on our own.

Comice pears are grown in the Pacific Northwest , where orchards supply such pears to a few fruit gift box operations.

The secret to these holiday-season treats, which isn’t exclusive to Harry & David pears, is that they are Comice .

The right amount, in my experience, is more like three pears per capita.

There are options that include cheese, crackers, and Moose Munch (popcorn with caramel and chocolate) Apparently, there is something even better than a simple box of perfect fruit.
