    Pureed pear is traditionally in the marinade for Korean beef bulgogi.

    If you like bulgogi I am sure you could puree it and freeze it for future use.

    I like sliced pear in a salad with toasted walnuts and a crumble of blue cheese.

    Pears poached in wine for dessert.

    Mixed field greens
    Sliced pear
    Candied walnuts
    Lemon vinaigrette

    California pizza kitchen used to have a salad like this. It's not on the menu anymore so I make it at home.
    Enjoy!

    Bulgogi is the national dish of Korea. BBQ beef is a sweet/soy/garlic marinade.

    Dear Au Pear (get it?)

    Try this, if you have a food dryer...

    1.) Wash fruit with luke-warm soapy water.
    2.) With an apple corer, core the pear.
    3.) With a very sharp knife, lay the fruit sideways on a clean cutting board and slice the pear into 1.5 (or so) inch rings.
    4.) Dust VERY lightly with cinnamon (or skip)
    5.) Place in food hydrator overnight, checking every 6 hours.
    6.) When the pear rings are nice and dry, you can store them, eat them, use them in other recipes.

    NOTE: Just make sure the fruit is at the peak of ripeness!

    Good luck....
