Details

Harvested at the peak of ripeness, these versatile 40 lb. IQF diced pears are then quickly and individually frozen to maintain their freshness at their best form. Coming in conveniently pre-diced, adding these pears to your menu allows so many versatile options, while saving on the cost of labor. Keeping the pears in their frozen state, add them into smoothies for a deliciously sweet treat. Bake into pies, cobblers, breads, crisps, and galettes for rustic, housemade baked goods, or serve a slice as a warm dessert with a side of vanilla ice cream. Create pear glazes and vinaigrettes to dress savory salads, meats, and roasted root vegetables with a subtly sweet dimension.

Macerate these pears into jam and offer it as a side option to your breakfast pastries, or use it to fill danishes, hand pies, and cake fillings for a warm fruit flavor! Creating homemade syrup is another wonderful and easy way to use this frozen fruit. Drizzle over waffles, pancakes, and crepes, or fold into yogurt and ricotta for breakfast items. Sprinkle in various spices, such as a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and cardamom during the fall and winter months to add a warm and cozy autumn spice flavor. Plus, as a syrup base, this can be added into shaken specialty cocktails for a fun, fruity way to mix things up! With so many creations to be discovered, your next signature menu item will benefit from these IQF diced pears.

When fruits are first picked, they start to lose their nutritional value, and freezing in masses lumps the fruit together. Using the IQF method prevents this from happening, and instead keeps the fruit's flavor, structure, nutritional benefits, and natural appearance intact, letting your dishes look and taste their best every time. Thanks to their preservation, the pears taste deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
