pear drop

Yellow boiled sweet

A pear drop is a small hard candy flavored with amyl acetate, which gives it a distinctive pear-like taste and aroma.

The sweets are typically teardrop-shaped, often half pink and half yellow.

British in origin and nostalgic for many: The sweet shop sold pear drops by the quarter pound.
