This is really good. Five stars. Next time, I will use a little less cinnamon, just my personal taste, but it was great as is.

Yummy! I live in Florida and have a ton of sand pears to use right now. Because these are grated, the pears cooked great in this recipe. They are a very hard pear. Thanks for giving me a great use for them now!

I really liked this. I did make a few modifications--subbed grounded ginger for cinnamon (sorry, not a big fan of cinnamon), stevia for sugar (and added 1 tsp baking soda as suggested per their baking tips). I didn't have any nuts but plan to get some so I can make some more of this bread. I plan to make several loaves while the pear tree is producing and freeze them to have for the holiday meals. Thanks for a great recipe! Hope you don't mind the modifications.
