HISTORY: For years, Knapp's Cinnamon Pear Jelly was a holiday gift tradition for family and friends. Then in the fall of 1995 her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, making it impossible for her to continue making her prized Christmas jelly while helping her mother recover. Following the holidays and with her mother on the mend, she was surprised at how many people missed her gourmet gift that year.

Knapp decided to test market her tasty innovation by competing in the local and state fairs. After winning 1st Place ribbons at the Lake County and California State Fairs, Knapp knew she was on to something. Seven years later, she said goodbye to the corporate world and in September 2003 relocated to Napa with rededication Noun 1. rededication - a new dedication; "the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem"

 to her luscious creations.

Now A Perfect Pear has become a specialty food line carried in many major gourmet stores across the country. All along Knapp has specialized in making outstanding foods from farm fresh ingredients. "Thanks to the mild temperatures in California, we have access to superior produce year round. The real objective for all our products is to help create quick, healthy and delicious meals," says Knapp. "My big thing is quality -- quality ingredients and quality production make a quality product."
