PEAR HONEY

This tastes so much like honey, your friends will never believe that the bees did not make it. Great on hot biscuits and to give as gifts. This was my grandmother's recipe that she made every fall. Hope you love it!

Time 3h45m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 cups peeled, cored and chopped pears
1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
8 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Place chopped pears into a large pot, and pour pineapple juice over them to prevent them from browning. Stir in sugar, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. When the pears are at a full boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the mixture is the color and texture of honey. The longer you cook it, the thicker it gets. Cooking time is usually 2 to 3 hours.
  • Ladle into hot sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth, and seal jars with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, or the amount of time recommended by your local extension for your area.

PEAR HONEY

This is so simple and so good. Update: I have changed the sugar ingredient amount from 5 1/2 cups to 2 1/2 cups-5 cups because it is so sweet, you don't need all the amount. Enjoy!

HOMEMADE PEAR HONEY

Pear honey is an old recipe that's been passed down through families. We especially like it with hot biscuits and butter. It's also good on pound cake or even ice cream. Make sure the pears you use are very firm. -Charlotte McDaniel, Jacksonville, Alabama

PEAR HONEY

I love pears, so I'm always looking for new recipes using them. I found this one in an old cookbook that my Mom has. I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds interesting...bet this might be really good with biscuits or maybe pancakes. I'm not really sure why it's called Pear "Honey", cause there's not a drop of honey in it! Since I haven't made this one, I'm guessing on the prep and cook time.

PEAR HONEY



PEAR HONEY image

This summer was the first time I'd heard of Pear Honey but I began making some. My 91 year old neighbor said she used to make it; she and her son love it. Someone gave me Pears so I have made several pints, it does have a good taste. Plus, I loved making it for them.
