    There are plenty of delicious ways to use overripe pears! Here are a few suggestions:

    1. Pear Puree: Cook the pears down with a little water and sugar (if desired) until they’re soft, then blend them into a puree. This can be used in smoothies or as a topping for yogurt.

    2. Baking: Overripe pears are perfect for baking! You can make pear muffins, quick bread, or even a pear crisp or crumble. Just dice them up and incorporate them into your favorite recipe.

    3. Pear Sauce: Similar to apple sauce, you can cook down the pears with a bit of lemon juice and cinnamon to make a tasty sauce that can be used on pancakes, oatmeal, or eaten on its own.

    4. Smoothies: Toss them in a blender with some spinach, yogurt, and maybe a banana for a nutritious smoothie.

    5. Preserves or Jam: Cook the pears with sugar and lemon juice to make preserves. This is a great way to enjoy the flavors of pears all year long.

    6. Homemade Pear Ice Cream or Sorbet: Blend overripe pears with some cream and sugar to make ice cream or mix with water for a refreshing sorbet.

    7. Salad Add-Ins: Dice the pears and add them to salads for a sweet touch, especially paired with cheese and nuts.

    8. Dehydrating: Slice the pears and dehydrate them for a tasty snack.

    These options should help you make the most of your overripe pears! Enjoy!
