FRESH PEAR PECAN BREAD
This fresh pear pecan bread is absolutely delicious.
I love pears so when pear season rolls around I love to come up with different ways to cook with them. This recipe never disappoints! Homemade bread is always a hit with my family and this recipe is easy. It’s absolutely delicious with coffee in the morning. It can equally serve as a dessert as well. This bread would also make a fantastic gift.

It sounds scrumptious! I don’t happen to have pears, but have peaches — what do you think? Would peaches be a good substitution?
Hi, I would think it be fine to use peaches.
No pears, but it was fabulous made with a mix of zucchini and apple.
I made this bread yesterday and I must say that it was absolutely delicious and so very moist. I plan on making more loaves very soon. It`s a keeper for sure.
So glad you enjoyed it. We love this one too and have made it several times since posting the recipe!
