Pears, pears, pears and more pears

My husband ordered a case of pears for his parents this holiday season via computer. I looked over his shoulder when I walked by the machine at the time and noticed that he had mis-spelled our email address.
In order to correct the address, he backspaced to the order page, attempted to correct the address, and then went through with payment.
Surprise! When he arrived in Ohio, his parents showed him the results of his labors: four cases of pears.
It seems the original order was a two-for-one, and his moving back and forth within the site meant he put in his order twice. And when he came home after his trip out to middle America, he returned with a case of pears just about a day shy of being really, really ripe.
Now, pears are fine in their way. I don’t happen to be a fan and neither are two of our three children, but my husband likes pears and eats one a week, generally. Our oldest occasionally eats a pear, too.
But what do you do with an entire case of them? The best we can come up with is some sort of pear brown betty, but if someone has a better idea for something we can do with a case of pears pretty near the end of their eat-ability, you’ll have my undying gratitude.
