The juice is made from real fruit, providing a subtle sweetness that complements the pears without being overpowering. This product is a convenient way to enjoy the taste and texture of fresh pears any time of year. The pears are processed to maintain their soft texture and mild, sweet flavor.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pears packed in heavy syrup, these are preserved in 100% fruit juice. This results in a less sweet profile and a lighter flavor, allowing the natural taste of the Bartlett pears to come through more clearly. The juice itself is also a more natural accompaniment than a sugar-based syrup.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion in a covered container. It is best to consume the remaining pears within a few days of opening the can to ensure optimal freshness and texture. Avoid storing at room temperature after opening.
