Sounds like you are going in circles.
We have a pear tree that has been struck by lightening several times and produces some questionable pears. However, I have had great success making something in our area that is known as "pear honey" and is soooo tasty. You might want to try this. Check out this recipe that has been passed down from several generations of our local families.

PEAR HONEY
(Makes about 8 half-pint jars)
9 cups ripe pears, peeled, cored,
sliced and ground
Grated rind of one lemon
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
5 cups granulated sugar
1 cup crushed pineapple, with
some juice
Combine all ingredients in a large heavy kettle or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to thicken, about 20 to 30 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. Delicious served on toast and especially good on English muffins.
Note: I have successfully used the entire contents of a 20-oz. can of crushed pineapple with complete success.
