Sounds like coddling moth. The larvae eat out the center in and around the
core then exit out the bottom barely leaving a mark. ... Those pears turn
yellow and ripen earlier than normal. They are still edible (I cut them up
before eating) but they don't have the best flavor compared to the others
that ripen normally.
If some of your pears are still on the trees, they may be worm free.
