This is the pear that started it all.
The Orcas Pear with Bay is rooted in place — made from fruit discovered growing wild on Orcas Island in the 1970s, a pear that quietly adapted itself to the island’s maritime rainshadow climate and eventually became part of the Girl Meets Dirt story.
At peak ripeness, these pears are slow-cooked in small batches in traditional copper pots until they turn soft, rosy, and deeply fragrant. Fresh bay leaves from the kitchen garden are steeped in during the cooking process, lending a subtle herbal warmth — a gentle hint of spice and ginger that lingers beneath the fruit.
The result is beautifully versatile: sweet, lightly floral, and quietly complex. Spoon it over ice cream or cheesecake, pair it with cheeses, or tuck it into a pastry-wrapped baked brie for something that feels both rustic and refined.
A preserve with true island roots — thoughtful, storied, and made to be savored slowly.
Ingredients: Orcas pears, Organic cane sugar, Organic lemon juice, Fresh bay leaves
