What can you make with pears?

At work emails will periodically arrive that say "Free X available.  Bring your own bag."

Where, depending on the season, X can be: sweet corn, muskmelon, peaches, apples, beets, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, pumpkins, nectarines, zucchini, etc.

Today it was Bosc pears.  They're not tree-ripened, but they're not bad.  It's just that there are quite a few of them, and I don't have much experience doing things with them.

According to  this search, you can sort-of treat them like apples.

Any suggestions?

1: I've put them in jam before--peeled. And pear butter is pretty good. And using them on coffe cake or upside down cake instead of other fruit works well, too.

Out of hand with cheese is nice, too.
