Super delicious. People ask for this recipe. Freezes well, too. Would be nice to have on hand for a gift or unexpected company.

Really great recipe - definitely works as a dessert offering, too. I served it at a dinner party with Hagen Daaz vanilla, and people loved it. I also subbed GF flour, and the recipe worked beautifully. I always recommend using the freshest spices you can and the best quality. I ground allspice and clove fresh for this, and there's no doubt it made a difference.

Eating this bread is like eating candy! It tastes delicious even though I substituted half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Such a good breakfast loaf.

This is awesome. I make it with canned pears or fresh pears. I puree some and then add chuncks. It is the best! I get so many requests I give it for neighbor gifts at christmas. Give it a try. I am also going to try it as the bread in bread pudding.

This is a perfect way to show off your fall pears! It is a very moist and flavorful bread. I diced my pears to 1/2" cubes after coring and peeling them to insure even distribution in the bread. I then dredged them first in the combined dry ingredients before stirring into the wet ingredients mixture. I finished the recipe as directed. They took 60 minutes to cook and are a hit with our family and friends. With such a moist "plummy" bread, I chose to wrap it in foil and store in my refrigerator. I serve it cut into 2" slices topped with fresh whipped cream. You can choose to heat the slices in the microwave before topping with either vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

Delicious recipe; I made mini loaves and baked for approx 30 min. Also added walnuts pressed into the top--will incorporate next time. Used half whole wheat flour. Diced pears for more immersion of fruit within the bread.

Easier to make than expected! Used mostly organic ingredients which adds more flavor & taste. I was out of brown sugar & used granulated maple sprinkles; 4 small eggs instead of 3 (large) eggs; and spelt flour instead of all-purpose. I baked the 2 small loaves about 40 minutes; the large loaf 1 hr +. Reminds me of bread pudding. This is one of the best online recipes ever and will be a family fave!

Finally a pear bread where I don't have to watch the pears rippen (so difficult to find them just when you want them). If I am out of molasses I substitute corn syrup which works fine. Thanks for a great addition to my files
