Brian, we have a similar pear which the old timers called the "Cooking Pear" - can still buy it as a "Kiefer Pear". Its a hard pear, not real sweet to eat, but gets better if pick them and place in a cool storage for a few weeks til they turn yellow - -then pretty good. But, they are best as Pear Preserves, which was and is a major treat in my family. Peel them, dice up in 1/4"x 1/2" x 1/4" strips, cover with sugar and let stand overnight. Then cook down slowly the next day until pears are just translucent pink. DO NOT OVERCOOK or they will "candy" to a sticky mess. Put in pint jars while hot, pour extra cooked juice in to fill jars. Serve with hot biscuits and butter on a cold snowy day, or on hot pancakes, and it is food fit for the godds. Or, peel and freeze them, mix with equal parts apples and makes a great multi-fruit pie. Course, I'm very particular: I only eat 2 kinds of pie: Hot or Cold!! {:-)
