This is a nice way to reduce the massive quantity of pears and zucchini in my kitchen at this time each year. I don't understand BakeryBabe - she said it was a lot of ingredients and work - I found it to be a very simple procedure. While not "anything special”, it is quick and easy and VERY satisfying. I made a second batch and substituted brandy for the Vanilla and just cinnamon for the pumpkin pie spice, and it was awesome!

Delish! Use heaping tbsp pump spice if you like more flavor. But perfectly yummy as is! Thanks.

The bread was really moist, I'll give you that, but my boyfriend and I both thought it wasn't anything special. It wasn't bad, but with all the ingredients and work involved, it's just not worth it.

Very moist, good flavor. I had to add 1/3 cup milk, probably because I used extra pears and zucchini (didn't want left overs). I also added 1 cup of chocolate chips. Made 6 mini loaves.

I had leftover zucchini & pears and didn't know what to do with them. What a great recipe. My husband who never likes sweets, ate this bread right up!I added less sugar & oil,ground ginger and wow!

This recipe is wonderful! My boyfriend ate half a loaf immediately out of the oven. The only thing that could make it better, is more spice. Maybe cinnamon or just more of the pumpkin pie spice. All in all, loved it.

I wanted to use up both my zucchini and pears in one bread or muffin recipe and this is the ONLY recipe I could find that uses both. And no reviews yet. Yikes! I always read the reviews before trying anything, so I was a little apprehensive to be the first. However, the ingredients sounded good and it looked easy enough. My husband is not a pear fan and was dismayed to learn that I put them in a zucchini bread, however he loved this bread! As we all did. Very moist and yummy. I would definitely make this again! I followed the recipe exactly but did bake in dark pans so, as usual, I reduced the temp by 25º. It was perfect! Good thing it makes 2 loaves because we are already on the 2nd and I just made it yesterday! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe, Gwynne!
