grapes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sweet and juicy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'good fresh pears' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'fresh' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pears' with letters rearranged gives 'rapes'.
'g'+'rapes'='GRAPES'

'should be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grapes that I've seen before include "They grow on vines" , "Juicy fruits" , "Source of wine" , "Vine fruits" , "Fruit for wine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
