The most delicious moist gingerbread ever. Just know that I think the author meant 3 eggs instead of 3 Tbs. of eggs. Excellent recipe.
My husband and I LOVE this recipe and it shrinks/grows well. I have made it in 1 2 4 6 and 8 loaf batches and every time it is delicious. I have subbed honey for molasses in the past and it worked well. I have also added MORE spice than the recipe calls for and that really bumped it up. Adding 2x the spice called for a little nutmeg and serving with mulled wine or hot apple cider did my guests in at a recent "Christmas in July" party. Oh yeah I used pastry flour and that was pretty cool too. Well done JAWANDMEE!
This was a very easy quick bread to make. I used a variety of pears and put a mixture of brown sugar and raw sugar on top of the bread. I also made mini loafs which are nice to give to the neighbors. They also freeze well. I will certainly make these again.
Best bread ever!!!!! I love not having to wait for the pears to ripen. Wonderful flavor. I made a few changes-applesauce for oil used 3 eggs diced pears instead of slicing them added pecans and baked in mini loaf pans. Hard to keep around once baked.
I halved the recipe and used canned pears which I finely diced. I will cut back a little on the ginger next time and definitely cut the salt by half. I prefer other pear bread recipes that don't mask the pear flavor but this bread is moist and delicious very much like a spicy gingerbread. Would make an excellent giveaway bread for the holidays.
This bread was easy to make and very moist and tasty. My 10 year old followed the recipe and she added some golden raisins and walnuts (she has to make everything her own). The loaves turned out beautifully.
YUM YUM YUM!! This bread is so good!! Smelled wonderful while baking - I couldn't wait to taste it! Now I can't stop eating it!! Didn't change a thing except to use 2c. all-purpose flour and 1c whole wheat flour as someone else suggested. Delicious!!
I used less sugar and oil. And I also peeled the pears as well. Very tasty though! Fast and easy to make!
Loved it! The only thing I did diffent was run the pears through the blender so my kids wouldn't complain about "chunks" in their bread. They loved it!
This was just ok. I be was expecting it to be a lot more flavorful but it was rather plain tasting without much pear or spice flavor to it. I even added more pear than what was called for maybe use pear liquor or more spices?
