Alas. I was operating on the theory that wilty veggies can be saved by sauteing but on second thought perhaps this is not 100% true of mushy fruits. Ah well; it was delicious mush, at least.

Or! make sure to use pears that are slightly underripe. Pears ripen very suddenly and if you wait too long they become too soft (and then grainy/mushy :/). Shallots are amazing! They are like convenient little garlic-onion hybrids. If you have them on hand, you only need to chop up one kind of allium. :D Yeah, I guess bosc pears are firmer, which probably makes them best for this recipe.

Still delicious! I think this pear I used, which was the regular kind (uh, Bartlett??) rather than bosc, did not have as much structural integrity as yours, so it turned a bit mushy. You know what I think would be awesome in this? Shallots. Oh, shallots. <3 I just made this for lunch, only without the ham, as I had none, and with feta instead of gorgonzola because that’s what I had on hand. Still delicious!
