Korean Pears

To celebrate the holidays, our Asian distributor at work sent us a box of Korean pears. The box was quite heavy even though it held only eight pieces of fruit. We were excited to try them.
Carlee brought me lunch but didn't try a pear. She agreed to pose in front of our Christmas tree. The live tree was cut courtesy of Kevin. He overestimated the height of the ceiling or maybe the tree just looked smaller out in the woods. At any rate, some trimming off the top and bottom was required.
The pears were shaped more like large grapefruit. They were juicy and crunchy and did not have the same texture as American pears. They were different but good.
I put this pear on the scale and it weighed a little over a pound. I would like to see a Korean pear tree. The branches would have to be rather large to support the weight of these giant pears. Thanks Roger, for a great gift.
