Default Unripe pears

We have a pear tree and live in a cold damp wet country.
A small number of pears ripened this year and some continue to ripen but the
great majority never ripen.
Anyone know what to do with them other than throw them over the back wall at
our neighbours?
I heard someone mention poaching and storing unripe pears; anyone know how
to do that?
