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.
