Green Pear Jelly with Rock Sugar | A Quiet Summer Dessert

Green pear jelly, cool and clean

Green pear jelly is a quiet summer dessert. Pear juice, a touch of rock sugar, a small amount of agar, chilled until just set. The pear flavour stays fresh and bright. The rock sugar lets it through without adding any competing note.

This is the kind of dish that proves the sugar choice matters. Use brown sugar and you flatten the pear. Use white granulated and you get sweetness without depth. Ship Brand Crystal Rock Sugar dissolves clean and lets the fruit do the work.
