Think light and mellow with pears
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
The most important thing to remember about pears is to allow them to
ripen before using.
Most of the pears in grocery stores are not ripe, but if left out of the refrigerator for a couple of days at home, they will ripen beautifully.
If you have access to a pear tree, you’ll know to pick the pears just before they’re ready and then let them ripen on the counter.
There’s nothing quite like a ripe pear. It’s mild in flavor, sweet and juicy. Please enjoy this week’s recipes.

Those restaurants were encouraged to follow guidelines issued by AccelerateSC following input from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and the South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association.
McMaster’s new order, which went into effect Monday, makes “all previous recommended guidelines for restaurants and other establishments that attract groups of people” mandatory, according to a release from the governor’s office.
“These limited restrictions are temporary, they are measured and they are targeted toward what we know works,” McMaster said. “These measures give South Carolina the best chance to slow the spread of the virus without shutting down the state’s

The process involved assessing Liberty’s strengths and weaknesses.
