If you happen to live in an area where fresh pears are to be found, they can be great for adding to your regular juicing schedule. When juiced, pears produce a stronger, flavorful liquid that is thicker than many types of fruit juices. As such, people often use it in jams or jelly. So if you do juice pears, you can save the pulp from it for thickening up your jellies or use it as a pear compote.

The three most common types of pear (this info is from Wikipedia) are the European Pear, the Ya Pear and the Nashi or Asian/Apple Pear. However there are many different varieties of these 3 pears that you’ll see in the market.

The nice thing about pears is that there are no seeds or rind to remove. For juicing them, you can just pull out the stem and cut them up.
