I made the recipe to a tee and both my husband and I thought it was very plain. It was moist which is good but it wasn't near as good as other pear breads I have had in the past. It seemed to be lacking in taste. We had other people over when we had it and they really liked it but it isn't something I will make again.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"12\/11\/2011 17:48","GUID":"552279ccec434296a27aa1ce37db000d","MemberId":5598621,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"foxxy1601","SubmittedDate":"12\/11\/2011 17:48"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"11\/07\/2011 14:55","GUID":"783fe75171494f7c80d65f4913312d32","MemberId":5450729,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"marine17","SubmittedDate":"11\/07\/2011 14:55"},{"Comment":"
My husband and I both really liked this. I used pears canned with splenda and then in the bread I used 1\/2 splenda and 1\/2 sugar. I will make this recipe again but replace half of the gloves with nutmeg.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"10\/03\/2011 19:35","GUID":"fdefab69cb8b40afb33e869c97173333","MemberId":3725563,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Clifton66","SubmittedDate":"10\/03\/2011 19:35"},{"Comment":"
I made this bread with fresh ripe pears.<\/p>
Cannot tell you how much I uses, I just used what I had and estimated about how much was 3 cans worth. I also used 5 pans and they baked up nicely. Next time I will add some kind of nuts.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"10\/01\/2011 00:14","GUID":"56175611ba074d79928e4057a8636897","MemberId":5180505,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kanazawa","SubmittedDate":"10\/01\/2011 00:14"},{"Comment":"
My husband says it's his new favorite. We had a lot of fresh pears so I used those instead of canned pears as well as an extra pear instead of the applesauce and its delicious! Moist and yummy!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"09\/17\/2011 10:48","GUID":"25e2927df5574726afb01c65bbd20e32","MemberId":3023226,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mrs.munson","SubmittedDate":"09\/17\/2011 10:48"},{"Comment":"
These made great gifts for my family this Thanksgiving! The aroma during baking was wonderful!

This is good (I like cloves) but for those of you who don't--try the Fresh Pear Bread from Quick Cooking Sept-99, page 46.

Moist, easy quickbread, but cloves were too heavy for my husband. Next time I'd use less, or maybe try the suggestion to substitute pumpkin pie spice. Also next time I think I'll add some toasted nuts, perhaps pecans. My son (9) liked it as is.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"03\/25\/2010 13:23","GUID":"6dbb2858736e4e7386fa30de7f2fdd53","MemberId":4994071,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"anneleac","SubmittedDate":"03\/25\/2010 13:23"},{"Comment":"

Made this and was my husband ever grateful for the great recipe. Made mini loafs and he ate two coming out of the oven. Will add raisins and nuts next time, but I love leaving the pears a bit chunky so will stick with mashing. The cloves are a bit strong, which I like, but if I was making it for someone else, I might cut down, or just substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon and cloves.<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"10\/15\/2009 17:52","GUID":"1c6efbf6ae6d4c3dbe8a44980d94fb7c","MemberId":4447948,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"momfraser","SubmittedDate":"10\/15\/2009 17:52"},{"Comment":"
You can always substitute cardamon or pumpkin pie spice, (then using less cinnamon) for the cloves, and add chopped pecans and even flavored applesauce , then cut back on the sugar a bit and calories!<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"","GUID":"D33E00DC400C4F228C4D0209B5DBEAE7","MemberId":4358876,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"yummy7","SubmittedDate":"09\/29\/2009 19:16"},{"Comment":"
I have made a pear cake in the past and loved it, so I thought I would try this bread. It was just ok to me, way too many cloves for my taste!

RE: SPICED PEAR BREAD<\/p>
I've found using blender to mash pears works very well. 3 cans pears will yield just over 2 cups mashed pears. Also, I used 2 8 inch loaf pans in place of 5 inch ones, with great results.<\/p>
Both my husband and I loved this bread, in fact, my husband devoured half a loaf yesterday. Its become one of our staples.<\/p>
Thank you Rachael for this recipe - it gets 5++ stars.<\/p>
Sincerely,<\/p>
