That same experience can happen when you’re cooking. As we observed with a less-than-glamorous orange way back when (http://cookwithlaynie.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-little-minneola-can-do-hymn-in.html), all is not lost when our fruited friend isn’t what we were expecting.
To wit: What do you do when that pear that looked so pretty at the market proves to be a little mealy?
Pop it in a ramekin (you can slice it first, if you want), pour a little orange flower water over it--
“Orange what?”
Orange flower water.

--then add some cinnamon, a bit of vanilla, cover the ramekin with foil and heat at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Try it with end-of-season peaches, too. Simply wonderful. Just like some people we could mention.
