Shirley,
Too many Asian pears is a great problem!
First I would eat all them
that you can. This helps you to learn the
differences in tastes and
textures. There are many recipes to try. Here
is a link to several
Asian pear recipes.
Asian pears are also great to juice. Unlike
European pears that
grind into almost nothing, Asian pear texture is
more like apples.
If you have a cider or wine press you can add rice
hulls to get better
extraction. After you have the juice, you can ferment into perry, a
hard pear cider with
~7% alcohol by volume. Perry is like hard apple
cider but has a small amount of residual sweetness from sorbitol
that makes a unique drink.
Enjoy,
