The most renowned of pears, ‘Conference’ has the perfect bite and flavour to be eaten as a dessert pear, but is also exceptional when cooked. It can be eaten hard or fully ripe with a smooth juicy flavour. Trees crop late in the season from October to November, and the fruit will store until January. Enjoy ‘Conference’ pears at their best by picking them slightly under-ripe and bring them indoors to ripen slowly.
