Pears. What to do with a few dozen pears? [View all]

Not a canning person, and have limited fridge/freezer space, but also just hate discarding good food. My neighbor had a bunch of pears and now I am wondering about how to make them delicious and then disappear.

They seem to be 2 varieties, bosc and the other kind.

Help?
