FICKLE consumers that we are, the next seasonal beauty is what we fall for. Not to slight late-season peaches, or the good tomatoes, eggplants and peppers that may remain, but it's the early autumn fruits that now beckon. Succulent grapes, new-crop apples, quinces, pomegranates and persimmons are all parading their cool-weather costumes. Why resist? At the market everyone has pears, and lots of different kinds. Russet brown Bosc pears; tiny Seckle pears; pale yellow Bartlett pears, some blushing; buttery Warren pears; juicy Anjou pears; apple-shaped Asian pears; and sweet Comice pears. Your local market may feature other regional or heirloom varieties. Each has a slightly different flavor and texture, and each has its fans. All have their merits and uses, raw or cooked.

The flavor of cloves infuses these pears and their tawny syrup during their long stay in the oven. Two hours is a long time, but it's worth it: the pears are transformed, and the syrup, which is not very sweet, is caramelized. The pears will be intact, but they're so soft you can eat them with a spoon. They also make a nice breakfast with yogurt. 6 ripe but firm pears [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

''GOOD morning, young folks! Ready to pick?'' That was the greeting from Billie Jo Tunis, who for 16 years has worked the cherry season-- as well as apricot, peach, pear and apple seasons -- at LoveApple Farm, in Ghent, N.Y. When a customer said she might be ready to pick cherries once she had had a cup of coffee, Ms. Tunis pointed to a tray of dimpled pastries. ''We have warm cherry turnovers, right from the oven,'' she said. ''Now, who could resist one of those with a cup of coffee?'' The fleeting cherry season, roughly parallel to those of ditch lilies and fireflies, is in full swing in the Hudson River Valley, centered in Columbia County. Most people are familiar with sweet cherries, but sour cherries, also known as pie cherries, have an almost cultlike following. Armed with visions of pies and preserves (and with buckets and baskets), sour-cherry enthusiasts are taking to the orchards to pick their fill before the crop flames out. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
