canned pears

Syrupy preserved fruit

Canned pears are pears preserved in a sealed container, typically in syrup or juice.

Like other canned fruits, they're shelf-stable and ready to eat: She added canned pears to the fruit salad.

The pears are usually peeled and halved, softer than fresh but convenient year-round.
