If you are making pear cider (perry) or interested in stewing or bottling your pears, Cannock is handy little pear for doing all of those things. It can be eaten fresh if you store it for a good few weeks off the branch, but we don't recommend it if all you want is an eating pear. For making a really good, full bodied perry, Cannock should be blended with the juice of other perry varieties, like Hellens Early or Brandy.
