Fresh Pear Bread

I baked four smaller loaves. Very good. I’ll make this every year when the pears come on.
Such an amazing recipe for moist delicious bread! It’s great straight out of the oven and at room temp. I used most of 3 Asian pears to make the bread and it is so so good, I’ll be making more!
Wonderful! This is the first time I have had pear bread. It was a hit! I used half brown sugar and half regular sugar due to what I had on hand.
Excellent recipe! Based on other reviewers' comments, I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar. I also added in some nutmeg. It baked perfectly and is a deliciously light bread. I will definitely make this again.
My pears were not quite ripe and still quite hard so after I chopped them, I put them in the microwave with about 1/4 cup sugar and a couple tablespoons of water for about 4 minutes. This softened them up as well as sweetening them a touch. The batter was VERY thick, but after adding cooked pears, it smoothed right up. Other than that, I followed recipe to a T. I omitted the walnuts because not everyone likes them. I'm taking to church tomorrow to serve with coffee after our service.
Delicious! Perfect amount of pear and walnut, just has a splendid texture, and wonderful flavor! My family absoloutely loved this recipe. They all agree, that this is a definite do over.
I did two batches of this last night one pear and walnut and one pear and dark choc chunks, I used sunflower oil and maple syrup instead of vanilla extract. Absolutely love them both very pleased with be making some more for my friends very soon. 5 stars from me. ??
So good. Only used 2 cups of sugar and halved the spices as suggested. Used low sugar Sure Jell. So far, so good.
This came out fabulous! I left out the walnuts and swapped cinnamon for nutmeg! I doubled the amount of Nutmeg. So so good!! I will for sure make again!
Absolutely love this pear bread. I put in extra cinnamon, no walnuts and used low carb flour mix. Also used 1/2 cup sukrin and 1 cup brown sugar. Absolutely delicious and holds tigether really well. Highly recommend :)
