Seasoned D'Anjou Pear Bread

Ingredients 0/12

Directions

Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease two large loaf pans. Since the long pear slices can stick and make the bread fall apart, don’t be shy with the grease. In a big mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, vegetable oil, molasses, and eggs, stirring until everything’s well blended. Add the salt, baking soda, and spices—cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and allspice—and mix those in. Gently fold in the pear slices, making sure they’re well coated with the batter. Then, stir in the flour until just combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
