    Source of Recipe

    List of Ingredients




    3 lbs. ripe pears
    1 (8-1/4-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
    About 6 Tbsp lemon juice, divided
    3-1/2 cups sugar
    Optional: 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground allspice

    Recipe



    Wash, peel and core the pears. Chop finely, almost to a puree, by hand or in a food processor. Combine in a large, nonreactive saucepan with the pineapple, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, sugar and spices, if using. Put over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.


    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook at a high simmer about 25 minutes, stirring often, until very thick. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and continue cooking at a simmer 5 minutes.


    Ladle into hot 1/2-pint canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process in a boiling water bath canner 15 minutes. (Or cool the pear honey, ladle into freezer containers, cover and freeze.)

    Makes about 5 cups.
