Candied Ginger Pear Bread

 Harvest time tends to give us a bounty

of fresh pears and apples. I love this time of

year. Baking is one of my most favorite

hobbies. So when I was baking several

loaves of quick bread, I thought up this

recipe....hoping it would be a hit with

my family and friends.

It was a HUGE success.

The little pieces of candied ginger in this

bread, makes it a special treat.

 

Candied Ginger Pear Bread 

1/2 Cup Butter~ softened

1 Cup Sugar

2 Egg's ~ Beaten

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Apple Pie Spice

2 Cup All Purpose Flour

1/4 Cup Buttermilk

1 Cup Fresh Pear's~ peeled/chopped

1/4 Cup Candied Ginger

 

Preheat oven to 350

In a large bowl combine all ingredients.

Stir to combine. DO NOT BEAT.

Pour batter into a well greased

9x5 loaf pan.

Bake for 1 hour.

*I also like to sprinkle the top of the

batter with some Cinnamon/ Sugar

before I bake it.

Let loaf cool completely

before you cut and serve.

*You can find Crystalized (Candied)

Ginger at your local grocery store.

Usually found in the Spice/Baking isle.

HAPPY HARVEST,
