I used fresh pear in this recipe. The muffins have a great taste. But it's hard to taste the pear. Thanks Elaniemay :) Made for the Best of 2011 tag game -
Yumm Yumm says it all!<br/><br/>Because the pears were not good in my store I chose to use canned ones instead. Looking forward to making this again with fresh ones. -
These are sooo delish!! -
These little treats, were delicious. We really enjoyed them. So sweet, tender and light. My dh ate half the batch himself...they were perfect hot and cold. I will definitely make these little babies again, they were so quick and easy to make. The fruit loving neighbors enjoyed them also. Thanks for sharing your recipe Elaniemay. Made for Went to Market tag :)

My Family and I moved to South Africa at the beginning of 2007 to be missionaries. My Husband is the Pastor of a church in Eden Park, a township in the Jo'burg area. We are having a great time. My kids love it (3 of them, 1 born here). We have got to do many exciting things( pet lion cubs, feed giraffes, eat Zebra(gross!)and other meats(Warthog was surprisingly the best, go figure) and swim on a beach with penguins, to name a few). I have always loved to bake but just got into cooking since moving over here. There were a lot of things I couldn't find over here(and still can't) that we were wanting so I started searching for good recipes for everything from sausage, salad dressing and root beer,to enchilada sauce, Macayo's baja sauce(posted), and Applebees hot wings!
A fellow missionary turned me on to this site and My husband got me a membership for this last birthday. I am loving it!
