Pear Honey
Heritage Recipes Search Request
The Request: I received this request from friends after bragging about wonderful
the Pear Honey that I picked up at Tisdale, Kansas Methodist church supper and
sale. It was so wonderful that for several years we timed our annual trip to
Kansas to be at the same time as the church supper. After much searching, I
found recipe that is quite close to the Pear Honey we use to buy. One recipe is
from the same area where the church is located. I’ve seen some Pear Honey
recipes that are more like a butter. But the Pear Honey from Tisdale has chunks
of pear in it. If you have a Pear Honey recipe, please share it with me!
Kansas 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.
