Pear Honey
Pear Honey is a silky, amber preserve where ripe pears simmer with pineapple juice until they develop a delicate honey-like flavor and glossy finish. Sweet, fruity, and gently tangy, it shines on warm biscuits, toast, or as a thoughtful homemade gift. Serve at brunch, with cheese boards, or spooned over yogurt for a nostalgic, jammy treat.
