I have some asian pears that I'd like to make something out of. I need some ideas. They're a bit hard for eating but I thought cooked they should be fine.

Thanks

try a pear pie or pear bread or any apple recipe - just substitute pears for it - you won't know the difference and you can mix apples with pears and you won't know the difference

Hey Rick!

Cooked they are awesome, I make the finest pear cobbler in the world with them!!!

Here's my very easy recipe:

Peel and dice pears (enough to fill a med. large size sauce pan) pour in a cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and tsp. or so of cinnamon place on med low heat and allow to simmer until nice and soft (you want juice so do keep a check on moisture level)melt a stick of butter and put melted butter & cooked pears into a 9x12 glass baking dish, take 1 cup of self-rising flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of milk mix until well combined pour this dough over the pears and place into a 350° oven for 45 min.'s to an hour dough will be nicely browned. Remove from oven and enjoy!


I also used to can them using the canned pear directions. They make a lovely pear pie and are great to eat straight out of the jar. They were some of the first baby fruits I fed my babies (after I mashed them to a pulp) and my kids grew up loving them!
