Best Answer

D'Anjou is a popular winter pear due to its mild, sweet flavor and abundant juice. Neither the red or green variety changes color when ripe so the best way to tell when an D'Anjou is ready is to press gently against the stem end of the fruit. If it gives slightly, your D'Anjou is ripe and ready to be eaten.
