A number of years ago I planted a dwarf pear tree. It has some fire blight that I keep clipping off. In spite of that and after bloom freezes and frosts, it always produces pears. It doesn't produce a lot, because it is a dwarf that keeps getting trimmed, but it produces a few dozen. This is the best year yet for it.
We have a recipe for pear pie that we use and make at least one pear pie from the pears each year.

Angie's Pear Pie
Ingredients:
1 unbaked pie shell
3 or 4 pears, halved and cored
1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons flour
a dash of salt
Place the pears flat side down, small end in into pie shell.
Sprinkle the pears with the lemon or lime juice.
Beat the eggs and sugar until thick and lemony. Add nutmeg, vanilla, flour and a dash of salt. Pour this over the pears.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 and bake for 25 more minutes.
