This is so addictive, yummy! I loved it and everyone in my family also did. We had guests from overseas who are in love with this bread. I added a handful of raisins and a teaspoon of cinnamon instead of nutmeg and used low-fat yoghurt instead of buttermilk. Its turned out FANTASTIC! From across the miles, a sweet little "Thank You" for the wonderful recipe. -
This bread was tasty. Lots of pear flavor came through, although next time I would add some extra spice or maybe a brown sugar crumble to the top. Thanks for posting =) -
A very mild bread, which for my tastes, could have used the addition of some cinnamon or more nutmeg. I made exactly per the recipe. As per one of the other comments, it is very nice warm with some butter. -

This is a great bread. It was so good fresh from the oven. Next time, I plan on using cinnamon instead of nutmeg, and a little more pears. Thanks for sharing.

I used sour cream instead of yogurt. I found the batter to be a bit thick so I actually used 8 oz of sour cream. I also used cinnamon instead of nutmeg. I recommend it for peach shortcake. Very good. -
