Pear Crazy

This past weekend we got a bag full of asian pears from Ryan's parent's tree. Because we only have a week left before the big rafting trip I have officially gone pear crazy. It started with a delicious pear tart with a walnut crust. We then had pear sandwiches with blue cheese and caramelized onions. AND then I added pear to a macaroni and cheese dish and it was surprisingly good--Ryan even requested that I make it again. Also, I can't forget the pear smoothie (Brooke, it wasn't green but it was a smoothie!) and the number of pears we have just eaten plain or in salads. I would have taken pictures but all of this dishes have already been devoured. I am currently about to make a pear spice cake. Any other suggestions for pears? I'm thinking pear butter or jam would be a good way to store what we don't eat.
