Thick and Delicious! I don’t have a commercial stove, I let it cook for about an hour and 10 minutes, then used the immersion blender to smooth it out. I also placed the jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.

This recipe is very similar to the Pear Honey my mom made when I was a kid. However, hers includes pectin to thicken. When she made it, it was about the consistency of honey. Without the pectin it's definitely more like a syrup.

I was hoping this recipe really had honey in it. Bummer. all that sugar. I love the flavor of honey and wonder if I can adapt this recipe to use honey?

I made 3 batches of this wonderful Pear Honey But it is runny. Any ideas? I plan to use it as A syrup. Should I put pectin in next time? I Tried cooking it longer but the taste was not as fresh

I made this recipe two years ago and have requests for it constantly. It pairs really well with brie. Georgia pears are ready and planning to can some in a couple of days.

I cooked longer than required but my syrup never really became a "syrup" - should I have cooked longer or is Pear Honey not like a preserve?

We have 5 pear trees and they are always full of big pears. I made this pear honey in 2008 when my sister from Flordia was visiting and we love it, have gave lots of jars away as gifts.
