What it is
These are pre-sliced pears packed in their own natural juice, which is made from concentrate. The juice provides a light sweetness and helps preserve the fruit. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy pears without the need for peeling or slicing them yourself. The pears are typically soft and ready to eat straight from the can.

Open the can and drain the juice if desired, or serve with the juice. These pear slices are ready to eat immediately. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
