| One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple with syrup 8 cups (about 3 pounds) peeled, cored, and chopped pears |
10 cups sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice |
Mix all ingredients and cook until pears are tender and mixture thickens, approximately 30 minutes. Place in sterilized jars and seal while still hot.

I purchased a jar of pear honey from a church friend. She suggested to eat pear honey on top of hot biscuits because this honey is very sweet. She was right- it’s SO GOOD on hot biscuits. My friend is going to show me how to make preserves, something I’ve always wanted to do, but have been so afraid of trying! She loaned me her cookbook, so I plan to spend some time copying recipes to try.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14

Dear Heart 4 My Home,
I left this message on your blog, but will leave it here, too, in case someone has the same question.
I apologize for not writing sooner. Life has been too busy here!
About the pears, you can use any pears to make pear honey. I know that it will turn out very well for you!
May you have a wonderful week!
Janet
