Pear Honey

18 large ripe Bartlett pears
2 large oranges
4 oz jar Maraschino cherries undrained
1 (29 oz) can crushed pineapple
Sugar

Peel and core pears. Peel oranges. Grind pears, oranges maraschino cherries and pineapple. (We usually use a larger jar of cherries). Combine all fruit and measure equal amounts of fruit and sugar.

Pour into a large heavy pan, cook until thick. Approximatly 2 hours, stir often so it does not scorch.

Ladle into hot sterilized pint jars and seal. You also can use smaller jelly jars for gift giving. This makes a very sweet preserve and is wonderful on hot biscuits, bran muffins or wheat toast.
