Organic & Biodynamic D'Anjou Pear Duo

The d'Anjou pear (sometimes known as the Anjou pear), is sweet and juicy when ripe, with hints of a citrusy brightness, but the flesh is dense enough to hold up well to baking or poaching.  Unlike the more familiar Bartlett pear, the d'Anjou barely changes color at all when ripe (perhaps a bit more yellow, but still pretty green), so the best way to test for ripeness is the apply gently pressure to the neck of the pear, looking for the flesh to yield ever so slightly.
