  1. Simple and good. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. I received 10 Korean Pears as a gift. They are huge! I love to bake, so I decided to hunt for a pear cake recipe. After looking at several recipes, I chose this one, mainly for the preparation technique. It was very easy to prepare. One of my Korean Pears garnered 3 cups of chopped...they are huge! I did make a little addition to the recipe, I added 1/2 tsp each of ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. It was delicious. I tried posting a picture, but so far have not been successful due to technical difficulties. Great cake!
     
  3. Made this in 2002 when I received Southern Living. for family fall gathering. It's a keeper! Lost the recipe....thanks for putting it in. I agree, use really "ripe" pears, I mashed with pampered chef chopper.
