Super! This is very yummy and its clear amber color makes it a very attractive canned good. I made this by the recipe except that I cooked it longer due to the low quality of pears that I have. I used 4# of minced pears, net. I have made this several times and I like it best when I food process the pears to an applesauce-like consistency. I throw the pineapple in the processor, too. The texture is more pleasing when made this way.

I live in Louisiana and am the office manager for a plant nursery. Love to cook. My favorite cookbook is New Southern Living by Nathalie Dupree. If I had a month off I would finish testing all of my new recipes.
I have been testing quite a few of the new ones I have found on Recipezaar. There are a lot of great cooks here.
