Pear Bread

By Bellacucinam

Ingredients

• DRY
• 1 1/2 c flour
• 1 c sugar (I used brown, which gives the bread a delicious carmel flavor)
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/2 t salt (forgot this)
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• 1/4 t nutmeg
• 1 cup toasted pecans
• WET
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c vegetable oil
• 1 t vanilla
• grated zest and juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1 1/2 c peeled, grated pears, with their juice

Preparation

Step 1

Add the flour mixture to the pear mixture and fold until the dry ingredients are almost all moistened.

Stir in nuts.

Fold until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Scrape the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes (put a piece of foil over the top of the bread if it's getting too dark before the bread is cooked through).

Cool on a rack 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding to cool completely.
