Spiced Anjou Pear Bread

---

Wonderful bread--moist, delicious, and full of pears. I baked it on a cold snowy day, and the lovely aroma wafting through our home was warm and comforting. I was searching online for pear recipes and found this one on another site. It gets even better the day after it's made.

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 350f.

---

Generously grease two large loaf pans--the long pieces of pear make the loaves more susceptible to sticking in the pans and falling apart , so make sure you grease generously.

---

In a large bowl , combine brown sugar , vegetable oil , molasses , and eggs.

---

Mix in salt , baking soda , cinnamon , ginger , cloves , and allspice.

---

Stir the pear slices in , coating them evenly.

---

Stir in the flour.

---

Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.

---

Bake for 50-65 minutes.

---

Allow loaves to cool in pan about ten minutes before removing them and placing them on a wire rack to cool.
