3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add:
4 cups of peeled and coarsely chopped pears
3 cups flour (save 1 Tablespoon)
1 1/2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup pecans & 1 cup of raisins Dredged in 1 Tablespoon flour
Bake in well greased and floured bundt pan 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours with pan of water below the bundt pan.
Frost with cream cheese frosting or same on as German Chocolate Cake.
Pear Pie
2 Tablespoons flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups peeled and grated pears

I made this Glazed Pears & Apples recipe last fall and it was delicious. You could also make it with all pears or all apples. It was wonderful! It's great on top of pancakes.

If you like smoothies pears are delicious with apples and bananas in a smoothie.

Thanks!
Thanks!
Using a paring blade or corer, remove the seeds and center
from each pear.
Cut your favorite soft candy bar into pieces that will fill up the cavity in the pear. and press them into the empty space. chill - but these need to be eaten pretty much immediately.
Place one on a plate and drizzle with caramel sauce!

pears are also a great FILLER...as in they have no real taste of their own when added with strawberries, peaches, etc, so they are a great filler in jams/preserves.
my boys also love then MINTED...yummmmyyy...I love them with cinnamon & cloves...with an almost sugar free syrup!
