Scrumptous taste...but longer cook time than it says

User: Amy from Houston, TX User Rating:
If I had read the user reviews before trying this out, I would have cooked it down longer than I actually did. I cut the recipe in half, making only 6 jars; I cooked it for 45 mins and it still came out too thin. I will reattempt, as the taste is incredible, but what I have now will only work as a marinade or sauce.

This pear honey recipe was so easy. It is so good. I did add one thing at the very end right before I took it off the burner, I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.It gave it such a great flavor.
Great but watch the altitude

This recipe is great you end up with a very strong fresh pear flavor. But if you are at an higher altitude it will take much longer to cook!
Great!

Used this for my first time making jelly, it taste super. I am thankful that I also watched the program and was better able to follow the recipe and know how to fix the jars because of the show.
Great Taste

I made this and was just amazed by the wonderful flavor. HOWEVER, it said to cook it 30 min. NO WAY, I had to cook it almost 2 hours to get it to the consistency that Paula showed us on her show. Before publishing a recipe I think it should be made a few times to get the timing down right. Pears were done in 30 min but not the liquid. I would still make this again, delicious, it sure beats store bought. :)
I Can't Believe It's Not Honey!

I've been trying to come up with a vegan alternative for honey and this is it! Very easy to make and taste unbelievably like honey. One change I made - halfway through cooking, I skimmed the pears and pineapple out of the liquid, pureed them, and then returned them to the liquid to finish cooking. The consistency is a little thinner than honey, but definitely still works.
Needs to boil LONGER!!

Hi, I like this recipe except that 30 minute thicking time is way way off. It's more like 1.5 to 2 hours. Unless you're going for liquid pear honey. I boiled mine until it thickened (about 2 hrs) and turned the color and consistency of honey. I'm thinking 30 mins would be right if you used pectin, but this one...nooo way! It was kind of disappointing to find these directions soo wrong.

IT WAS SMOOTH AND EASY TO MAKE BUT THE RESULT WAS WATERY. THE RECIPE ASKED TO COOK FOR 30 MINS., TILL THE PEARS ARE TENDER AND MIXTURE THICKENS. FOR OVER 30 MINS., THE PEARS ARE ALREADY TENDER BUT THE SYRUP WAS STILL WATERY.
Pooh Bear would love it!

The only thing I can say, is that I will never and I mean NEVER buy manufactured jellies again! I made Paula's Pear Honey & my boyfriend Mike made Peach/Orange marmalade - Pooh Bear would be in hog heaven!! Being it was our first time doing this, the preparation seemed like it took forever - but man was it worth it!! Christmas is going to be easier and more affordable this year! We're giving a basket of our jellies and homemade cookies to our family & friends. YOU ROCK PAULA!!!!!!
Ah Paula....

Whenever pears are fresh, I'll be making this! Even if you're new to canning, try this, as the success will inspire you to do more! Easy, tasty, and a fantastic treat for those cold winter days when fresh fruit is just a dream. Thanks, Paula!

Hot and over ice cream is DELISH! An awesome fruit topping alternative to waffles & pancakes, too.

My Pear Honey ended up like Pearsauce. It tastes really good but there is no honey/preserved consistancy. I believe it was I loaded up the pot when I should have broken down the batches and done 3-4. So Will be trying again.

This makes great pear honey, just like my Grandma used to make 50 years ago. It was my favorite then and when I wanted to make my own and couldn't find her recipe, I turned to Food Network, which is where I always find great recipes. But I digress. The proportions are fine, the problem lies in the time it says it takes for preparation and cooking. Peeling, coring, and chopping 16 cups of pears takes a good hour and a half, NOT 20 minutes and pears will NOT be cooked and thickened in 30 minutes. If you use a good canning pear, which is best for pear honey, cooking will take at least 50 to 60 minutes, maybe even an hour and 15 minutes, for this large a quantity.

In the online recipe it calls for 16 cups of pears. In Paula's recipe book it calls for 8 cups of pears. That is a BIG difference! It took almost 2 hours to cook and still not thick enough.
Really Good Stuff

I made this 3 years ago and it was fantastic. I just saw the show again today and opened my last jar. WOW, it is still fantastic. I can't wait for my neighbor's pear tree to start producing it's wonderful fruit. I gave it as gifts and the people I had given it to ask for "refills" Thank you Paula, you have done it again!!!
Awesome
