Default lost recipe - does anyone have the recipe for "Pear Honey"

Hi all,
I just posted my recipe for Grittibanz which I am
planning to make this year as gifts. I have always
accompanied it by a batch of my Pear Honey. However
I seem to have lost the recipe. I have searched high
and low at home and can't find it. I know it must be
there somewhere but is probably misfiled (I have hundreds
of recipe cards in 4 large file boxes!) or stuck in one
of my 100 or so cookbooks. My aunt thought I had given
her a copy but couldn't find it. I have e-mailed by
sister to see if I gave it to her and she still has it.

I went online and tried to find it. I found about 10,000
recipes called Pear Honey. And about 9,998 of them have
pineapple or pineapple juice in them. Mine does not!!!
The other 2 were not the same recipe. I'm going nuts here.
I love that stuff. Everyone else loves it.

So, does anyone out there, by any chance, happen to have
this recipe? It is just pears, sugar, honey (I think),
and maybe a pinch of cinnamon or lemon juice. I haven't
made it for at least 5 years and my memory is getting
cloudy. But it sure as hell does not have pineapple in
it! I got this recipe from, I think, Bon Appetit over
20 years ago, maybe as much as 30 years ago.

Please help!

Thanks,
Kate
