I discovered this recipe from a canning book.  We have loved it! 

Pear Honey

7-8 cups of mash/chopped peeled pears. 

1 20 oz can of crushed pineapple

1/4 cup lemon juice

5 cups sugar

1. Peel and core pears. You can either mash them or use a food processor or a blender to chop them.  It's nice to have little chunks of the fruit still in the finished product.

2. Put pears a large pot and add the crushed pineapple (if you don't have crushed, you can put slices, chunks or tidbits in with the pears as you blend them), 

3. Add the sugar and the lemon juice.  Stir well.  

4. Turn on the heat to a medium and make sure that you stir frequently so that it doesn't scorch or burn.  

5. When it is heated through, put in jars and process for 15 minutes.

We love it on pancakes and waffles but it's also great on ice cream.

Buttermilk Syrup

 I have seen a lot of different recipes for Buttermilk Syrup.  This is what I have come up with.

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking soda

1.  Start melting butter in a pan.

2.  Add sugar and buttermilk when it has is about half melted.

3.  Stir frequently.  When it is all melted and starting to boil, remove from heat.  Don't let it boil more than a minute.

4.  Add vanilla and stir.

5.  Add baking powder and stir in.  It will start to foam ,so make sure that you have a large enough pan or it will over flow.  I use a 1 quart pan and it doesn't overflow.
