Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp cinnamon

3/4 cup pear nectar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/3 cups finely chopped peeled pears(about 1 1/2 medium)

1/4 cup plus 2 tbs dried currants or dark raisins(optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts(optional)

Directions

Place the flour, sugar, bakingpowder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl, stir to mix well.

Add the nectar, vanilla, and pears, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Fold in the currants or raisins and, if desired , the walnuts.

Coat an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spary, and spread mixture evenlyin the pan.

Bake at 325* for about 45 minutes.

Remove from oven, and let sit for 15 min.

Invert the loaf onto a wire rack, turn right side up and cool to room temperature.

Wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and store 8 hours or over night before slicing and serving.

Overnight storage will develop the flavors and give the loaf a softer, moister crust.

Refrigerate any leftovers not eaten within 24 hours.

We were visiting my dghtr and fam this weekend, and I wanted to show them I COULD make something healthy, and your pear bread was first on my mind - we loved it! It is so moist, and packed with the sweet pears (I let them ripen til they were good and sweet and juicy!!)...this is a keeper, Mich - I will be making this again (I can see strawberries, or other berrires, maybe pineapple??)...lots of variations with this lowfat recipe! You're the best!!!!
