It was a great summer here for fresh produce and farmers markets were bountiful. With most markets closed for the season many of us wonder where to find local food still. There are many storage crops available at our local grocery stores like squash, rutabaga, carrots, and potatoes (sexy, I know). There is even local fruit available such as apples and pears.

Here are 2 quick and simple recipes for poached pears that will leave an impressive memory for your next dinner party.
