Red Anjou pear, also known as Red D‘Anjou, is very similar to Green Anjou pear. It is excellent eaten fresh, but also versatile in baking, roasting, and sliced fresh into salads. Anjou pear partners well with a range of flavors, from white wines to the rich flavor of Stout beers. Serve Anjou pear with goat cheese, brie, and parmesan cheese crisps on a cheese platter. Layering Red and Green Anjou slices adds a festive color contrast to cheese platters.
