Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 cups flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon; 1 cup chopped pecans (original recipe uses walnuts); 3/4 cup vegetable oil (original recipe uses softened butter); 3 eggs, lightly beaten; 2 cups granulated sugar; 2 cups finely grated finely grated ripe firm pears (original recipe says to use peeled pears, I figure what's a little extra fiber); 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Servings: persons

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans (original recipe uses walnuts)
3/4 cup vegetable oil (original recipe uses softened butter)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups finely grated finely grated ripe firm pears (original recipe says to use peeled pears, I figure what's a little extra fiber)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0 F (175 C in my house).
2
Lightly grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or two 9″x 5″loaf pans. I use my silicon fluted tube pan and don't grease or flour.
3
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
4
Scoop out about 1/4 cup of this mixture and combine it with nuts to coat.
5
Stir back into the flour mixture.
6
In a separate bowl, combine butter, eggs, sugar, pears, and vanilla.
7
Add the pear mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until flour disappears and batter is evenly moistened. Don't overdo it, you want everything JUST moistened.
8
Pour batter into prepared pan(s). Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until bread is browned and firm on top. A pick inserted into the center should come out clean.
9
Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, remove from pan and place top side up on a plate or wire rack to cool completely.
