First, this bread had a great consistancy. We enjoyed eating it for breakfast. However, I had a few problems when making this bread, but they were fixable. It didn't say weather to drain the pears, so I didn't. However, because I was measuring the pears with their juice, I don't think I added enough pears. I used one can, but there wasn't very much pear taste, so think I should have used more. Also, I don't know if my bread machine is smaller or what, but when it started to rise, it was evident that there was to much dough in the machine. I took it out and formed two loaves. I let it rise on the stove and then cooked it at 350 until it was golden brown (about 30 minutes). Despite all this I highly recommend giving this bread a try. I was great and will be even better with more pear. I definatly will make this bread again. However, I will add more pears and more honey.
