A few months ago, I had a visit while I was in school from a pear expert. She showed me the various types of pears out there, that at the time I wasn't aware of.
We used Green Anjou, Red Anjou, Bartlett Pears (my favourite kind!), Red Bartlett, Bosc Pears, Comice, Seckel, Starkrimson, Forelle and concorde.
After her lesson, she gave us an opportunity test out a mock pear competition that had a time limit of 30 minutes. We had to be creative and use any kind of pear and the products around us. The result: Vanilla Butter roasted pear in a phyllo cup with a spiced pear sauce garnished with a crimson pear chip. (Unfortunately there is no picture, however several weeks after, I entered a pear competition and I create this . . .)
Spiced Pear Mousse in a White chocolate cone with toasted spice pear chip finished with a pear caramel and spun sugar.
After many attempts to be creative with pears this is what I created.
