Pears
Tom says we have lots. Aside from just eating them a la carte, what else can you do with 'em? One of my fave treatments is to serve sliced pear with a good quality blue cheese. Pop a slice of pear and a dab of blue into your mouth and you'll see what I mean! If you have a favorite apple pie recipe, try substituting 2/3 of the apples with 1/3 peeled sliced pears and 1/3 sliced fresh cranberries. You probably will want to up the sugar a bit to compensate for the tartness of the cranberries. Alternatively, plump up some dried cranberries in a little hot apple juice for the '1/3  cranberry' part. If you have a recipe for apple crisp, try replacing the apples with sliced pears that have been sprinkled with a little lemon juice.
 

I suspect I'm not the only one who has not yet used up all my red cabbage, so here's a recipe I clipped a while back...
