Can you freeze fresh pears?
You sure can! To allow them to keep their best texture, soak sliced ripe pears in a bath of salted ice water for about 15 minutes before rinsing and laying them on a lined baking sheet in the freezer until frozen solid. Once they’re solid, you can add them to a heavy duty freezer bag and they’ll be good for whenever you want to add them to one of these pear recipes.
