When comes to sweet fall recipes, you think of apple or pumpkin recipes. What about pears? Pears can be Fall recipes. Pears are sweet like apples, so why not use them in a few fall recipes?
Pear recipes
I had received some pears, so I really wanted to make some pear recipes with them. I could do poached pears, but I wanted to make a recipe with pears that would be simple but also tasty.
The idea of doing a pear tart was also a thought. However, in my mind, I thought I could make an apple raisin bread. but make it a pear bread instead.
Pear bread
That is not a bad idea, a pear bread! Pears as I mentioned can easily be substituted in an apple recipe. Pears have this sweetness to them that would be amazing in a simple quick bread recipe. So why not give this pear bread idea a try!

Didn't know what to do with extra pears I had but found this recipe and its a keeper! It was quick to make and the pears and raisins made it moist and just the right amount of sweet! I did add walnuts because I personally like nuts in quick breads.(just my preference, not meaning to change recipe). Took 2 pears to make the full cup. Thanks for a delicious recipe!
