How to Make Lurline's Pear Honey

Peel and core approximately 4 pounds of ripe pears. Use a food processor fitted with a medium blade to chop the pears.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped pears with 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon salt.
Add 2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, including the juice. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1 cup of honey. Stir gently and continue cooking for 20 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. Ladle into sterilized 8 pint jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Seal according to canning instructions for safe storage.
