Pear and ginger crumble   this isn't my exact recipe, which I can't put my finger on for the moment but very similar...http://www.tinnedtomatoes.com/2008/01/pear-ginger-crumble.html

cut them in half, remove pip bits and fill the concave with balsamic and poach.

Thanks  Magoo, that takes care of some of them.
Anyone got a recipe for pear ginger?

[Magoo]

If you type pear ginger into google there are quite a lot of recipes.    I love pears and ginger together, nice combination.

[Brownie55]

The pot is bubbling away my house smells of ginger   
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[Magoo]

So Brownie...spill and fill.  What are you cooking?

[Brownie55]

Still got at least 6 kilos of pears that I must use today   .....
 

Aaaaaaah MOTIVATION where are you

[Magoo]

Stew or poach them and freeze them.

[Brownie55]

I guess I will have to freeze them. I might conduct an experiment tomorrow and try something like pear and orange jelly.

That sounds nice.     Last Sunday I served a peach dessert.  It was just the cooked peaches from the freezer and threw on top of that a packet of apple and sultana muffin mix.   That would be nice over some pears.
