[NAFEX] Asian Pear ultra low brix

My neighbor has an Asian pear and has been giving me some of his  
harvest.  I'm not wild about pears in general, but like European  
pears better than Asian.  Most people like European pears far riper  
and sweeter than I do.  I actually like them crisp.  But these Asian  
pears are the lowest  sugar pears I've ever eaten.  It's more like  
eating vegetables.  I don't know whether that's because he's  
harvesting them too early (the tree has fireblight and I alerted him  
to that so he's been pruning things) or what.

I'm pretty broke right now due to having taken a month off for  
surgery and recovery so I can't turn my nose up at free food. Does  
anyone have any serving ideas for making these pears more  
pleasurable?  Lemon and brown sugar?
