List of Ingredients







4 cups Spiced Pears (recipe in Canning Section)

1-1/2 cups white sugar

4 egg whites

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1 cup chopped pecans

3 cups sifted flour

1 tsp salt

1-1/2 tsps baking soda

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground cloves

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup reserved spiced pears syrup

METHOD:
Drain jars of pears, reserve syrup and dice the fruit. Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine pears and sugar and let stand for 20-30 minutes. Coat a 10-inch Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with a hand mixer until white and frothy, but do not allow peaks to form. Fold oil, pecans and pear mixture into egg whites. In a separate large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Stir in the pear mixture slowly until flour is completely moistened. Do not over-work batter. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and pear syrup until smooth. Pour glaze over cooled cake before cutting.
