I looked online today, eight years since you asked and found a recipe:

David and Rachel’s Best Pear Salsa Recipe Ever
Some years ago we were looking for something to do with all the pears in our Tennessee yard.

We dried them, made pear sauce, made pear wine, canned pears in syrup… and yet, we still had more pears!

Then we came across a recipe for “pear salsa” online. The batch we first made was too sweet and mild, but we made some changes and tried again, tweaking and remaking it over multiple batches to suit our spicier palates.

Now, 15 years later, we have no idea what happened to the site we found that original recipe on, but it launched something great. What it’s evolved into is really, really good and has become a favorite among our circle of friends.

If you have extra pears, your family and friends will love this tangy-sweet, spicy-savory salsa. It’s like nothing else you’ve ever had and is instantly addicting, despite the strange combination of ingredients.

Recipe:
3 Cups chopped onions
1 Cup chopped garlic
4 Cups chopped Red Bell Peppers
4 Cups chopped jalapenos
5 quarts chopped hard pears
3 cups sugar
4 Tbsp salt
2 tsp mustard seeds
1-2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp cayenne pepper
A few cups of white vinegar. (For extra flavor, add apple cider vinegar as well.)
