I have around 15 overripe harry & david pears. what can i do with them?
I've googled some muffin and sauce recipes, but other ideas welcome. I rather not throw them out since they're really tasty, I just have a hard time eating so many in a short period of time.

Harry and David is a shite chocolatier, I didn't know they went into farming.
Just eat them
-pear butter
-you could still make a balsamic-onion sauce with them, just peel and core as best you can and throw them in with the onions after they've caramelized a bit. The sauce will be thick and chunky but will still taste the same
-puree in a blender and spread it smoothly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, bake at a low heat in the oven until it turns to fruit leather
-pear vinaigrette for salads

Ferment them.
Either pear cider vinegar or lactofermented pear.
Pie or crumble should be good too.
I blizted 3 overripe pears, a banana and a red chilli with some orange juice and it was pretty tasty

Fermenting is extremely easy and equally healthy for you. Do it, you'll be shocked how easy it is and dismayed more people don't do it because you WILL notice the health benefits.

Throw them at people on beaches, be prepared to haul ass running fast in case you score hits and they try to chase you.

I thought they were famous for their royal riviera pears? Pretty sure their other products are just them trying to branch out of just selling seasonal pears.
Those pears are fucking amazing, too expensive though.

Pear sauce. Cook down like apple sauce
What about just making a tarte tartin with them?
Pears foster
Deep Fried pears
grilled pears
Pear milkshake
Pear Pancakes
Pear cake
Pear bread
Pear masturbation sleeve
The possibilities are endless.

This. Overripe pear is best pear.
Unless you're talking "they're getting brown spots and squish in your hand" ripe.

Fruit doesn't really lacto ferment very well. It's too full of sugar. You can add some fruit to something like sauerkraut, but the fruit can't be the main component.

It's absolutely possible to lactoferment fruit.
It's a bit more sensitive than vegetables, some do better than others... Being too acidic is a bigger concern than the sugar content.
Fruit will ferment faster and won't keep as long in the fridge (unless you want alcohol or vinegar).
