CF--dgkritch
1 c. vegetable oil
2 c. granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 c. peeled and chopped fresh pears (4 med.)
1 c. chopped pecans
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, combine oil, sugar and eggs, blending well. Stir in pears, pecans and vanilla. In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Stir dry ingredients into pear mixture, pour the batter into two greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 inch loaf pans, or four greased pint canning jars 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool loaves 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool on the wire racks. Bread baked in canning jars must be cooled completely before capping to prevent bacterial growth. NOTE: This is not a canning technique; bread must be frozen or eaten fresh.
Makes Two loaves or four jars or bread.
