Years ago, Trader Joe's carried a Pear Concentrate "jelly".  I have  
no idea how it was made, though.  They claimed it took 10 lbs. of  
fruit to make one quart-sized container.  The substance was a very  
dark brown.  It was heavenly tasting, though!  And meant for  
spreading on bread or using the way you'd use a jelly.
