| Sep 10, 2015 at 19:32 | comment | added | QMusic3 | Okay, seems the verdict is definitely more lime and a little more sugar. I will do juice AND zest of three limes. My mother used to use the pears canned in water, so I think the pear juice will actually be sweeter in that regard, and add more pear flavor. I'll up the sugar to 1/4 cup though and try that? I'm okay with the final product being paler. It's a shame, as the original was so pretty, but it's a sacrifice that must be paid to eliminate artificial coloring... sigh | |
