Overview

What This Line Is

Canned pears in halves, slices or dices, packed in syrup, water or juice across three brix bands from 11 to 22 percent. The brix level is set per order, allowing one product to serve markets with different sweetness expectations. The cannery is located in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, China, 70 km from the orchard belt that supplies its fruit, and pear has the widest harvest window of our fruit lines at June to November.

Raw material season: June to November. Booking volume before the season opens lets us plan intake against your specification.

Key Benefits

  • Three brix bands at 11 to 14, 14 to 17 and 18 to 22 percent to suit different market requirements
  • Halves, slices and dices cut styles produced from the same fruit intake
  • Syrup, water and juice all available as packing mediums

  • Glass jars from 330ML to 1700ML for premium retail positioning

Problems It Solves

  • A single house syrup that is too sweet for one market and too plain for another
  • Fruit that travels too far before canning and arrives soft or discoloured

Compared With the Alternatives

Honest trade-offs rather than a list of reasons to buy.

Canned yellow peachesPear holds a softer texture and a milder taste while peach has a firmer bite and a stronger colour on the plate
Canned apricotsPear has a five-month harvest window against roughly six weeks for apricot, so it is far easier to schedule
Frozen pearAmbient storage and no cold chain, against a softer texture than IQF fruit
Canned fruit cocktailA single fruit gives consistent size and colour while the cocktail pack gives visual variety at a lower fruit cost

Canned Pears Questions

Which brix level should we order?

The three bands are 11 to 14, 14 to 17 and 18 to 22 percent. The usual approach is to match the sweetness of the product already on the shelf you are entering, then decide whether you sit above or below it.

Which pear varieties do you use?

The Su pear and Crown pear varieties, selected against the cut style and the pack you order.

When does pear production run?

The harvest window is June to November. A specification approved before June can be booked into that season; after it closes the next opportunity is the following year.

Can pear be packed in water rather than syrup?

Yes. Syrup, water and juice are all available, and water packs normally sit in the lower brix band.

What pack sizes are available for retail?

425G and 820G tins packed 24 to a carton, and jars from 330ML through 1700ML for a premium tier.

How far does the fruit travel before it is canned?

The cannery is located in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, China, with pears sourced from nearby orchards, keeping the gap between picking and canning short.
