This is one of my favorites that my Grandmother use to make.
Pear Honey
9 pounds of pears
7 pounds of sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 stick cinnamon, 3 inches long
Peel, core and quarter (smaller pieces if you want) pears. Add 4 pounds of sugar and 1 cup of vinegar. Let stand overnight to draw out the juices. In the morning, drain the juice into a large kettle. Add the remaining 3 pounds of sugar and cinnamon stick, broken up. Bring to a boil and add the pears. Reduce heat and cook slowly about 2 hours or until the syrup has a light reddish (honey) color with a little bit of shine to it and pears are transparent. Pack into hot jars and seal. Process as your would for any preserves. It`s the color that gives this recipe it`s name.
