Conference is firm and versatile, great for eating fresh or cooking; Comice is soft and sweet, ideal for desserts; Williams is juicy and aromatic, perfect for snacking or poaching.
 
Choose firm but slightly yielding pears with smooth, unblemished skin. Harvested mainly in autumn, they’re a UK staple.
