Making pear honey is one of my favorite late summer projects because it's surprisingly simple and uses just three basic ingredients. When pears are at their peak and prices drop, this is the perfect way to preserve their delicate sweetness. The pineapple juice adds a subtle brightness that makes this spread taste more complex than it actually is, and pears are wonderful for digestion thanks to their natural fiber content. What I love most is that you don't need any fancy equipment or special canning knowledge to succeed. Just let it simmer away on the stove while you go about your day, and three hours later you'll have jars of golden, spoonable goodness that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.

Ingredients
- 88 cups peeled, cored and chopped pears
- 11 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 88 cups white sugar
Detail level
Instructions
- 1
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.
