I bought a large bag of fresh picked pears today. Still pretty hard but would be interested in a few ideas what to cook with them.

Poach and served on a crispy salad with blue cheese or goats cheese.
Roast and serve with meat of choice

Pear fragipane tarts freeze well.

Although apples are traditional pears go well with roas pork and you could pick up a bottle of perry to make the gravy.

A pear strudel with walnuts is worth considering too, can be frozen too for later use.

Poached pears freeze or bottle very well. A few spices and an easy plate of scrumptiousness through the winter.
I'd serve them griddled with blue cheese and walnuts with balsamic reduction squeezed over.
Lovely Korean (south) salad dressing
Put a peeled and cored pear, along with a bit of sesame oil, garlic and mayonnaise in a food processor. And whizz it up. Delicious with thinly sliced cabbage or lettuce.
poach them in red wine
Mulled pears ( keep for a year)

I used this recipe last year - you can use cider or red wine: both delicious

A nice autumnal chutney is a good way to use them up too:

Can I come around? a nice Fixin burgundy to go with the pears and cheese, particularly good with a Fourme d'Ambert.....

Wow thanks so much. Lots of lovely ideas there. Especially recipes with nuts and cheese.

I do love this time of year when people are selling there glut of fruit and veg. Today's large bag was all of 50p.
Trifle! Pear and ginger cake :-)
