I used 2 cups of diced pears, 1/2 c of sugar, 1/2 c of wheat flour, 2 T. buttermilk and butterscotch pudding mix. This turned out great! I really wanted to put in cardamom to bring out the pear flavor, but I couldn't find it in my cupboard. Will definitely do that next time. This also made a small loaf so I may increase the recipe servings a bit.

I used 1 1/2 c finely chopped pears. Edited to 3 tsp. cinnamon, 2 T milk instead of water, only 1/2 c sugar, small box of instant sugar-free pudding mix. The batter seemed quite thick, but baked up into a tasty bread.

This came out really nice but we did have to bake it a half hour longer in my oven. It was really sweet for a bread and I would all less sugar next time.

Very good, very low-fat bread. No oil or butter needed. Came out moist with a good blend of spice. Followed the recipe, but baked in mini loaf pans. We think it tastes more like a cinnamon bread with a little pear flavor, but we actually prefer it this way.

Sticky un-cooked mess after almost 3 hours in the oven. I'm thinking the author forgot "press all the liquid out of the shredded/mashed pear," which is a pretty important step!

This bread came out really good for me. I followed the recipe exactly, didn't change a thing and it came out great! It is very moist and full of flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

I love this! I drained my pears since they were really ripe...but in the end I needed the water, so I guess if I'd have not drained the pears and left out the water it would've been ok too. This is kind of more like cake then bread to me, but it's delish! Thanks! :))

This was terrific! Whoever said they were experienced in the kitchen and made mousse out of it, had to do something wrong. I ncer buy pears and I received a fruit basket for chrismas and didn't know what to do with all of the pears. Thanks for the great recipe!!
