Directions
Spiced Anjou Pear Bread, Wonderful bread–moist, delicious, and full of pears I baked it on a cold snowy day, and the lovely aroma wafting through our home was warm and comforting I was searching online for pear recipes and found this one on another site It gets even better the day after it’s made , I agree BEST quick bread EVER Followed the recipe exactly; baked for 60 minutes Came out with perfect flavor and PERFECT texture I’ve made this with 4 very large firm pears: delicious I’ve made this with 4 small mushy pears: equally delicious However, with mushy pears, it does need a little longer to bake so after 60 minutes, cover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes When halving the recipe, 2 large eggs works fine; in fact, I may actually prefer that firmer texture , Excellent flavor and aroma! I didn’t add the ginger, allspice or cloves — only the cinnamon — and the flavor was still excellent It has a wonderful molasses flavor that reminds me of molasses cookies Even my little 20-month old son loves the bread!

Generously Grease Two Large (9x5-Inch) Loaf Pans--the Long Pieces of Pear Make the Loaves More Susceptible to Sticking in the Pans and Falling Apart, So Make Sure You Grease Generously. (i Lined the Bottom and Sides With a Long Piece of Greased Waxed Paper, Leaving Enough Extra at the Sides to Lift the Loaf Out of the Pan.). |
