Pear · Quince
🗓 Season: August · September · October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Pear: Unlike apples, pears ripen from the inside out. Harvest when the skin colour lightens and the fruit separates with a gentle upward twist. Ripen off the tree at room temperature — leave on a counter until the neck yields to thumb pressure.
Quince: Yellow, fragrant, and very hard when ripe — not soft like apples. Look for a deep golden-yellow colour and a strong quince aroma. Inedible raw (very astringent); excellent for jam, paste, and jelly after cooking.
Late September 2013 both the Pear and the Quince are full of fruit but not quite ripe. October could be good.
Access is a bit difficult and requires jumping the fence and walking along the north bank of the New River.
