Okay... typing this before reading the comments, so... yeah...
Storage: Freezing
Dice them up, remove the core and any of the hard grainy spots (bug damage, I think). Plastic bags or containers.
Wine:
Recipes for home made wine are easy to find online. Usually there is enough yeast on the pears and in the air that you won't need to add anything unless you're trying for a particular "taste".
I've got a glass gallon jug, vapor lock with bung ( you can use a balloon with a pin hole), water, and a bunch of sugar. Made some strawberry and black berry wine this year, pretty tasty (and I'm not a big alcohol drinker).
Hot Sandwich:
Hear me out, shit's delicious.
Sautee some veggies like onion, bell peppers, maybe a bit of garlic.
Cut a slice of the pear, and sautee it.
You favorite fancy cheese type substance goes on the skillet last to get it all melty.
Toast some bread and layer everything on.
Preserved Pears:
Peel them, core them, pack them gently in a mason jar, fill with sugar syrup, seal it up with the metal ring and lid. Should last quite a while.
If you want to be fancy, there are recipes for a spiced version.
Pancake/Waffle/Biscuit topping:
Core, cut off weird spots, dice.
Put in a pot on medium heat, a few table spoons of water and a table spoon of sugar (no needed, unless you want something really sweet). Stir constantly until it reduces down to whatever consistency you want it to be.
Extra can be saved for a while in the fridge.
Also can be used to sweeten tea.
Stir Fry:
Probably would be pretty tasty in a sweet and sour stir fry.
Make the pancake topping then pour over the protein while its cooking or mix in after everything is finished.
I could also see some thick rectangles cooked along side the protein, get the sugars all caramelized and spread around.
Baked Dessert!
Cut in half or quarters.
Coconut oil, drizzled over the pears.
Dust with cinnamon, a bit of sugar or honey,
Pyrex baking dish goes in the oven at 375 for 30 minutes if the pears are still really hard. 20/25 minutes if they are soft enough to eat now.
Eat them as is, or with some ice cream.
