My neighbour has given me four fruit which he calls "peras colombianas". He says I can make juice from them in my liquidizer.
They are the same size as normal pears but without the concave tapering, more avocado shaped. They are dark red in color with glossy peel like an apple, not matt like most pears.
I haven't been able to find them by Googling.
I don't want to offend him by not using them, but neither do I want to spend the holiday period on the toilet. Anyone familiar with them. If edible, should I juice them when still firm or wait until they soften a bit?
I have a photo but don't know how to upload it. The FAQs says click on the "Albums and Pictures" link in my control panel to create an album (after which I know the procedure), but I see no such link. Perhaps I am at too low a level of membership?
