Recipe for five over-ripe pears in my fridge? A pear dessert maybe?

Left for New Years weekend and forgot that I had five pears I hadn't eaten... they are way, way over-ripe now and I need to use them by tomorrow. Is there a good desert dish or something I can make with them? I'll have to cut them up into chunks to use them, as they have many soft spots that are inedible. Thanks!

Pear Crisp



INGREDIENTS

1 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish or 9 inch square baking dish.

In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon crystallized ginger, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter until the mixture is crumbly with pea sized lumps. Set aside.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until pears are soft and topping is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream.

Sprinkle sugar over melted butter, then place pears, cut side down, on top. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.

Remove pan from oven, turn pears over and baste with pan sauce. Return to oven; bake until golden and glossy, about 10 minutes longer.

Slice pear halves in half lengthwise. Place a pecan in the center of each pear quarter. Place pears cut side down in the cake pan, arranging them like spokes radiating from the center of the pan. Sprinkle any remaining pecans around the pears.
