PEAR BREAD



Pear Bread image

As Bosc pears ripen the texture is as soft as a ripe banana, so I got the idea of making my banana bread recipe with chunks of pear. I added a bit of homemade granola, instead of the toasted coconut I usually put in the banana bread. It is essentially the same recipe, but the result is completely and wonderfully different, with a sweet spice flavor. Note: The trick to this recipe is using the pears when they are very ripe. This means they are at their sweetest and will breakdown when baking.

PEAR BUTTER NUT BREAD

Last fall, I made several half-pints of Pear Butter. It's similar to apple butter, but with the emphasis on nutmeg instead of cinnamon in the spices. I came up with this recipe, based on a pumpkin bread recipe, to use my pear butter. I've made a test batch, and it is delicious! I'll be serving it at a baby shower tomorrow, so...

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: The riper the pears, the sweeter and more flavorful your butter nut bread will be. Look for pears that are soft to the touch and have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in your recipe. If you only have salted butter on hand, reduce the amount of salt in the recipe by half.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender bread.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Pear butter nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover pears. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and nutty aroma, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
