Poached in wine is a classic dish, added to salads with gorganzola cheese, pear tart or pie, cobbler, cooked in a caramel sauce over ice cream. diced up put into a cavity of a chicken or turkey, added to a stuffing for pork chops........ that's it from me.
that's it from me.auntieshelly

Pear Bread
Have you ever tried Pear Bread? It is delicious for breakfast or snacking. Try speading slices with softened cream cheese flavored with a little cinnamon. Yummy!!
PEAR BREAD
1 cube butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg and/or cloves (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups pears, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes about 1/2" to 3/4" each
Butter and flour two 71/2" X 4" loaf pans. Preheat oven to 350º F.
In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add spices and vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time until well mixed.
Mix together flour, baking powder, soda, salt and gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in pears.
Pour into prepared pans and bake for 50 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool 15 minutes before turning out on racks to cool completely. (This bread freezes well.)

My eldest daughter's favorite pie is a pear pie. Simply substitute pear slices for the apple. A clasic is poached pears with chocolate sauce. And have you ever made pear butter? It's similar to apple butter. And pear is great in fruit smoothies.

A simple pear jam is great too, quite different than a chutney or a butter.

How about pear chocolate upsidedown cake???? Really great. Slice pears and arrange in a regular upsidedown cake sauce of brown sugar, butter, your own recipe. Make your usual chocolate cake and cover as usual and bake.
