Perfect Pear Bread
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 loaf
- Serves:
- 8-10
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1⁄2 cup butter or 1/2 cup oleo
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups pears (unpeeled, diced or mashed)
- 2 cups sifted flour (I skipped sifting the flour.)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon clove (My neighbor omitted the cloves, as she thought it made the flavor too strong. I added the cloves and)
directions
- Cream sugar and butter (or oleo), then add beaten eggs and pears. Add sifted flour, soda and spices to the mixture. Bake in a greased bread pan for 40-50 minutes at 350 degrees.
- To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of your bread. When through baking, remove from oven and set for a few minutes before running a knife around the perimeter of the bread. Bread should be easy to remove when the pan is turned on it's side or upside-down.
- Slice and serve with or without butter/oleo, jelly, or your choice of spread.

Love it! I used a can of barlett pears (I think it was around 14-15 oz?) with just a little bit of the pear juice from the can because I didn't want the batter to be too thin. Used all the other ingredients verbatim. Instead of cloves I used a dash of ginger and 1/4 tsp almond extract. It's now a favorite! (BTW I think I hit the "submit" button 3 times-- just disregard other reviews that pop up, my trackpad is slippery and annoying)

Now a 60+ year-old grandmother and celebrating the fact that I no longer ascribe to the low-fat/no-fat dogma. I still enjoy cooking/baking, but now it's gluten-free, sugar-free, low carb recipes that I look for. Since following this way of eating, I've reversed my T2d diagnosis, lost weight and have nearly gotten rid of gout! :)
