I don't remember the name of the pear, but they are very large, green and kind of grainy inside. They make wonderful pickles because of the crunchiness! Same for the relish! Fresh off the tree they are sort of semi-sweet and very juicy! The tree we had such a good crop from is over 50 years old! The tree in the front of the house produces a smaller, sweeter pear and has been planted in that spot since....the late 1800's! We have a picture! (if I knew where I stored it!) It didn't have many pears this year though, so we picked from the "younger" tree!
