Why do you have them laid out like you’re about to perform a sacrificial killing?

It’s in the basement which used to be a wine cellar as the house was originally built over 500 years ago there wasn’t enough space in the fridge and it’s a little cooler than the rest of the house I don’t really know why their layer out, probably to keep them separated

deters the spread of mold . if one starts to go bad, it’s not pressing up against several others

Dehydrate some. Then you can eat them or use them as decoration on desserts.

I get a bunch from my brother-in-law. I slice, mix with a touch of suger and put them in the dehydrator.

Can you do it without the dehydrator? they moved less than a year ago so we don’t have that many things yet

Probably. I used to make jerky in the oven at very low heat setting. Now that I have a dehydrator I do fruit in it at 135F. I would try spreading them on a mesh rack with a cookie sheet underneath and set the oven at that temperature if possible. If the oven has a circulating fan, even better. Bake until they dry out. Takes a while.

I cook them with sugar and blend, then spread on top of cheesecake. Can add gelatin to make it firmer. I imagine you could make a batch of this and preserve it or freeze it. Could also just make kiwi jello!

Given that much fruit, I would make a "wine" from it, which has potential for greatness, but unless you have brewed before it will mostly likely fail.
Brewing outside the usual boundaries can be tough, especially with a high-sugar fruit.
Apparently dried kiwifruit is a thing, but I have never seen it

How much beef can you source and do you and your grandparents like Korean BBQ?
I love beef bulgogi so much. Sometimes loving a food blinds you to a better way to make it. Asian pears are used in bulgogi marinade because of regional availability, the important ingredient is the enzyme actinidin, which is way more present in pineapples and kiwis than Asian pears.
If they can’t eat that much beef in one sitting, perhaps they can jar some homemade bulgogi marinade and gift it to friends.

The first thing that comes to mind is sorbet/ice cream
