Holiday giveaway: Win a box of premium fruit
This is Max's favorite fruit in the whole wide world. The second he tried mashed pears as a seven-month-old, he was hooked. And unlike sweet potatoes, they don't turn him funny colors.
News flash: It's National Pear Month! Other eye-opening bits of info: To see if a pear is ripe, check the neck. If it yields to pressure, it's good to go; by the time a pear gets mushy around the middle, its overly ripe. Oh, and if you want to keep your pears looking great (I like to display a bunch in a glass bowl on our dining room table with cranberries scattered in, so very Martha of me), dip them in a solution of 50 percent water and 50 percent lemon juice. Thanks to USA Pears for those tidbits, and for giving away this Pear Medley from The Fruit Company. Two four-pound boxes are up for grabs, worth $30 each. I've tried these pears and they are sweet and juicy, just like my kids.
To enter, leave a comment below about whether you are pear-shaped (bigger on bottom), apple-shaped (busty), or banana-shaped (slim and tall). I'm an apple, all the way.

I'm all of the above shaped! A little bit extra all around that should be trimmed a bit (ok, a lot!).
ReplyDeleteWe are big pear lovers in this house. I've been making mashed pears lately and mixing with avocado and Emma just loves it!
This is so funny. I was always a pear shape until I had kids now I'm an apple/pear blend.
ReplyDeleteyum yum! I love pears!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a short banana:)

Apple shaped and wishing I was a banana!

ReplyDeleteI'm a pear on the bottom,Apple on top and have large mishapen clown size feet. What an unforgetable combination.
ReplyDeleteMy main squeeze loves pears - his favorite fruit. I like to stew fruit in the microwave this time of year- especially if I can find quince to add. It makes the house smell festive, and isn't as high calorie as the rest of my favorites.
I also receive your feed.
ReplyDeleteI'm built like a Weeble,but I wobble a lot.

Apple. Yep.
ReplyDeleteI guess I would say apple, that's to motherhood! LOL!

ReplyDeletePear shaped, definitely! I used to be pudgy all-round (would that be peach-shaped?) but now that I've lost some weight I'm back to being a pear again! Pears are also my favorite fruit (I love to eat them with aged gouda or other cheeses).
ReplyDeleteI deserve to win the pears since I am shaped like a pear!!! Maybe if I ate pears instead of chocolate I would not be a pear!!
