Pacific Northwest Canned Pears invites you to show off the creative, eye-pleasing ways you feature U.S. grown canned Bartlett pears in your recipes.
U.S. grown canned pears are the world’s most flavorful and flexible fruit. (At least we think they are!) And its high time we peeled back the curtain and showed off all that they can do. Every year we invite non-commercial culinary pros from across the United States to participate in our annual CAN DO Challenge to highlight the most creative ways to serve canned pears. All recipe categories are welcome for the contest including smoothies, baked goods, entrées, salads, snacks and desserts.
Winning recipes receive:
- 1st place, $1,500
- 2nd place, $1,000
- 3rd place, $500
To enter, share a photo and description using the link below to submit your entry. Everyone who enters will score a $10 Amazon gift card just for participating. Select entries will also be featured on our website and social media.
Chefs and students have until April 30, 2025, to submit entries. Take a look at previous winners for inspiration.
