doesn't
sound right! However, I will be the proud owner of at least a gallon of
pear juice in a week or so...I'd love to make perry with it...I know
that
this is a period drink, so it seems like a good thing to do with this
stuff. However, I don't have a recipe...does anyone have any ideas? It
would be great if it were a period recipe, but it's not critical. >>>
See this file in the BEVERAGES section of the Florilegium:
perry-msg (10K) 2/ 5/06 A cider made with pear juice.
Among some references to period recipes it includes:

Subject: Re: perry difficulties
> Pear cider (perry) is much more complicated than apple cider.
I have never found this to be so. Using pretty much the exact methods
Markham describes I have never had a bad experience, although living
in first PA and then CT I find it impossible to get a true perry pear.
(generally, they're not available in the US) I've had success with a
mixture of Bosc and Bartlett although the ratio varies from batch to
batch.
Since it's one of the most popular things I ferment, I'm wondering
what made you make the claim?
