List of Ingredients





1 (16 oz.) can Bartlett pear halves
2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 lg. egg, beaten
2 tsp. grated orange rind
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1-2 Tbsp. orange juice



Recipe



Drain pears, reserving syrup; reserve 1 pear half for topping. Process
remaining pear halves in blender or food processor until smooth; transfer to 1
cup measure. Add as much of the reserved pear syrup as needed to make 1 cup.
Reserve remaining syrup for other use.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in large bowl.

Mix pear puree, oil, egg, and orange rind in medium bowl. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in walnuts; batter will be stiff. Spoon batter into greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 inch loaf pan.

Cut reserved pear half into 6 slices; arrange crosswise in a row on
top of batter.

Bake in preheated 350F until wooden pick inserted near center is withdrawn clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool pan on wire rack 5 minutes.

In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and as much of the orange juice as needed to make a thin, smooth glaze. Remove bread from pan; spoon glaze on top of bread. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap bread and let stand overnight before slicing.
