Pear drop

A pear drop is a British boiled sweet made from sugar and flavourings.

"Old-fashioned" pear drops are a combination of half pink and half yellow in a pear-shaped drop about the size of a thumbnail, although they are more commonly found in packets containing separate yellow drops and pink drops in roughly equal proportions ("original").

However, a natural pear-derived product from pear juice concentrate is sometimes used.

The largest pear drop in the world is housed at Stockley's Sweets in Oswaldtwistle Mills in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, England.

[1][2] In 2009 a survey of 4,000 adults found that pear drops were the fourteenth most popular sweet in the United Kingdom.
