What a sweet beautiful recipe! It is almost like fruit salad - only way better. I used about 1/4 cup of the marachino cherry liquid as my hard green pears were not giving up much liquid - turned the whole batch a vibrant coral! Yielded 6 - 1/2 pints (will be beautiful gifts) & 2 - full pints + a bit in the top to taste. Easy, sweet but tempered by the orange so not cloying & beautiful. Perfect for gifts.Reply
