Show Your Love with USA Pears

It’s almost Valentine’s Day! I decided to round up some unusual gift ideas involving, of course, USA Pears. First, you could go the obvious route and give, well, pears. Red Anjou pears are in season now, and with their pretty red skin and light citrus notes, they’re a lovely gift for any girl or boy.

Harry and David has some fun Valentine’s Day-themed gift sets. I especially like this Fondue for Two with their signature Royal Riviera Pears.

If your sweetie has a knack for cooking, why not splurge on a Le Creuset dutch oven? Every cook I know covets one if they don’t own it already. And in bright, vivid red, it’s a fitting reminder of the romantic holiday.

Or if you’d rather focus on the experience, why not make your Valentine a delicious dessert? Poached pears turn decadent when they’re drizzled with chocolate sauce, as seen here. Looking for something lighter? Roasted Pears with Strawberry Relish will be sure to please your partner!

Whatever you choose, make your Valentine’s Day especially sweet with fresh USA Pears!
