Stockleys Jargonelle Pear Drops
Stockleys Jargonelle Pear Drops
For somebody who appreciates traditional fruit sweets with considerably more charm than the average packet of confectionery, Stockleys Jargonelle Pear Drops deliver classic pear flavour in colourful, pear-shaped hard-boiled sweets. Individually wrapped and unmistakably nostalgic, they are ideal for parents, grandparents, traditional sweet lovers and anyone who remembers when choosing a quarter of sweets from a jar was an event requiring serious concentration.
Traditional Pear-Flavoured Boiled Sweets
Jargonelle Pear Drops belong firmly to the old-fashioned sweet-shop tradition. Their appeal comes from a straightforward combination: fruity pear flavour, a proper hard-boiled texture and a distinctive little pear shape that gives them rather more personality than an anonymous boiled sweet.
They are made for slower enjoyment, allowing that fruity flavour to develop gradually.
Of course, anybody determined to crunch one immediately remains beyond the jurisdiction of the sweet shop.

What Makes Jargonelle Pear Drops Different?
The word “Jargonelle” gives these sweets a rather grander name than most inhabitants of the sweet jar. Jargonelle is also the name of a pear variety, making it an especially fitting title for these pear-shaped, pear-flavoured sweets.
The result is a traditional confection that feels distinctive without resorting to novelty for novelty's sake. They look like little pears and taste of pear. There is something deeply reassuring about such administrative efficiency.
A Nostalgic Sweet for Parents and Grandparents
Traditional boiled sweets can make thoughtful little gifts when they reconnect somebody with a flavour they remember.
If Mum, Dad, a grandparent or another relative has fond memories of pear drops and traditional sweet shops, choosing their familiar favourite can carry considerably more meaning than simply selecting a random assortment.
