I've made wine from pears before, it turned out quite nice. The pears I used were pretty ripe, and it took a long time to clear (about 2 months!) but it was my favorite wine I made.
Here's how I did it http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=30603

I have 2 demijohns of pear wine on the go. With both have followed the recipe from Andy Hamiltons Booze for Free
Basically chop 2kg pears, skin, cores and all into a pan. Cover with water and bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes, no more.
Cool and strain into a fv. Apply light pressure to get the liquid out of the fruit. Squeeze too hard and you'll get lots of pulp.
I took a hydrometer reading, then added sugar to achieve 1080 and topped up with water.
Added nutrient and pectolase.
Used gervin number 5 yeast.
Must be a good year for pears as several people have passed comments on making pear wine this year.
Perry is made with Perry pears (which can be hard and rubbery like cider apples,) where as pear cider is made with eating pears. Getting juice out of pears by pressing like apples, can be a messy business resulting in a lot of pulp, depending on the ripeness. One of the reasons why I like the boiling method.
