Williams Pear Syrup
A tier
Williams (Bartlett) pear syrup tastes of the eau-de-vie pear: floral, musky-sweet, distinctive. It is a cultivar claim, usually a light-to-mid reduction. Poire Williams drinkers will recognise it. A splash in sparkling wine or on panna cotta. Generic pear syrup is flatter.
