Pear Bread

Yep!! You read that right!! Oh my goodness, I have never tasted anything more fabulous!! Such a nice sweet...but not too sweet...bread that is just so tasty! We got a ton of pears a couple of weeks ago that were about to go bad and needed to be eaten. Well, as much as I love pears, I can't eat like 10 in one day....so i got online and was looking for a way to use what I had on hand. You know, before I go any further I just have to say, the Lord really does provide. I love the juiciness of pears and the flavor. Pear is such a delightful flavor. Very nice...anyway, before I go off on a tangent!! I will continue with my recipe! Okay, so here's the awesome Pear Bread recipe. Careful...it's so easy you will want to make it over and over again!

Pear Bread

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 cups peeled shredded pears
1 cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the bowl.
2. In a separate bowl combine the oil, eggs, sugar, grated pears, pecans, and vanilla. Blend well. Add to well of dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened. Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 8x5x3 inch loaf pans.
3. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F (165 degrees C) oven for one hour and 15 minutes. Cool on wire rack before removing from the loaf pans.

This makes two loaves. It is soo yummy!! Try it...i think you will just love it!
