Hoshigakis
Laura Avery chats with Mike Cirone of See Canyon, who's brought in an old variety of pears. Planted eight years ago, these round bronze-russet skinned Winter Nellis are known as the best tasting winter pear. Mike expects to have these and D'Anjou pears available until Christmas.
Jeff Rieger of Penryn Orchard has hoshigakis, hand-dried whole persimmons which are a Japanese specialty. Available seasonally, they can also be ordered online at Penryn Orchard Specialties.
