Pear Walnut Bread


Ingredients:
2 to 3 fresh Bartlett pears
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup dairy sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups sifted flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ cup walnuts
How to make it:
1. Pare, halve, and core pears. Coarsely chop to get 1 ½ cups fruit.
2. In large bowl of electric mixer, beat together oil and sugar until well-blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add the sour cream and vanilla.
3. Sift together flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add to oil-sugar mixture and continue to beat until well blended. Add nuts and pears and mix well with large spoon.
4. Spoon into well-greased, 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Bake in 350-degree oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes; turn out and finish cooling on rack. To serve, slice very thin and spread with softened butter or cream cheese.
