INGREDIENTS
- 3 cup All purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 cup Walnuts ; chopped
- 3/4 cup Butter ; softened, or 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 Eggs ; lightly beaten
- 2 cups Sugar ; or 1 cup splenda blend
- 4 Pears ; ripe pears, depending on size (you'll need 2 grated cups total)
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Cranberries ; or dried, Craisins, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
Ingredients
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350F and lightly grease and flour a bundt pan or two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl, and stir with a fork to mix everything well. If you are using nuts, scoop out about 1/4 cup of the flour mixture and combine it in a small bowl with the chopped walnuts, stirring and tossing to coat the nuts with the flour.
3. Peel and core the pears, then grate them. You'll want two grated cups total; set them briefly aside. In a medium bowl, combine the butter or oil, eggs, sugar, grated pear, nuts (if using), and vanilla, and stir to mix everything well. Scrape the pear mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until the flour disappears and the batter is evenly moistened.
4. Quickly scrape the batter into the prepared pans and bake at 350F for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the bread is handsomely browned and firm on top and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack or folded kitchen towel for about 10 minutes. Then turn it out onto a plate or a wire rack to cool completely, top side up. Serve it as is or sprinkle it with confectioners sugar.
