They are most often green in color, and sometimes have a red blush covering small to large areas of the skin surface. However, some newer strains are almost entirely red in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRipening\u003c\/strong\u003e: Any area of green color on the skin of Comice may take on a slight yellow hue as the fruit ripens; however, color is not the best determination for ripeness. Check the Neck for Ripeness™ by applying gentle thumb pressure near the stem end, and when the fruit gives slightly, it is ready to eat. Because Comice has very fragile skins, the pears may appear to be bruised on the surface, but more often than not this does not indicate damage on the juicy interior. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e: The sweet, buttery flesh complements soft ripened cheeses like Brie, Camembert and Blue Cheese. Its extreme juiciness makes it a poor choice for cooking but an excellent choice for slicing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brennans Market","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52754522439960,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/8736\/files\/comicepears.jpg?v=1790184122","url":"https:\/\/brennansmarket.com\/products\/washington-comice-pears","provider":"Brennans Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
