I'm not sure if this will help you out or not.....when I've made apple pies
out of cooking pears the flavor is very similar. I thought this might be
worth a shot.

Spiced Pear Jam with Pineapple

As it is hard to gauge the acidity of the pear used, taste the jam as it
cooks. Add sugar or lemon juice, as needed.

Peel and co
3 lbs. firm cooking pears
Wash well:
1 orange
1 lemon
Put the fruit through a grinder, using a coarse blade. Save the juices.
Add to the pulp with:
1 cup crushed pineapple
4 to 5 cups sugar
3 or 4 whole cloves
About 6 inches of stick cinnamon
1 one-inch piece ginger
Stir the mixture while heating it. Boil for about 30 minutes. Pour into
hot sterilized glasses.
