The natural sweetness of the pear combined with the tangy lemonade is basically a party in your mouth. It is SO refreshing & simple. You can use homemade lemonade or store bought for this recipe, the real magic is in the simple PEAR SYRUP that is added to the lemonade.

INGREDIENTS

2 whole, preferably green or red Anjou USA Pears
32 ounces Lemonade
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

DIRECTIONS

Wash and cut your pears. Core your pear and then cut it into small cubes.
Add your cut pears, sugar and water to a medium sauce pan.
Over medium heat, boil and cook the pears until they are extremely soft and can be mashed easily.
Either blend the pears into the syrup or use a fine mesh strainer to remove the pulp.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of pear syrup into the bottom of an 8 oz cup filled with ice.
Fill the rest of the cup with lemonade. Stir to combine.
Add extra pear slices and mint to the drink, if desired.
