Braswell's® Pure Pear Preserves. Made with fresh pears. All natural. In 1946, young Albert Braswell Jr. returned from World War II with a GI Bill and no job. Using his mom's recipe, he began canning and selling pear preserves out of the back of his truck. Taste our pear preserves and you will understand why it remains one of our most requested products. We use local Kiefer and Orient varieties to give our preserve a nice firm texture and a wonderfully sweet taste. Visit www.braswells.com for great entertaining ideas. www.braswells.com.
