3 cups pineapple juice
4 1/2 cups packed date syrup
2 cups water
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika salt
Combine pineapple juice and date syrup in a glass pitcher. Bring the mixture to a boil and whisk until smooth, making sure not to over-boil. Dissolve 1 cup of the white sugar in cold water; pour over the juice, and whisk until the mixture thickens. Stir in paprika salt just enough to leave the mixture soft.
Pour the fives into 4 quart saucepan and cover with cold water to simmer for 30 minutes, until the pears brown. Cool before serving.
