Pears would probably work out great with this yeast (provided it is the 
actual Lambic yeast, and not just a yeast purchased from the area).  The 
yeast naturally causes wort or must to sour, but not like vinegar.  A 
secondary fermentation (usually for ales) with crushed fruit is very good 
with this strain of yeast, or so it seems.  I just know that I LOVE 
Lindemann's Peche, Kriek, and Framboise Lambics.  Sour, fruity beer...who'da 
thunk it?
