DRIED PEAR BREAD



Dried Pear Bread image

This is a tasty way to use the dried fruit that comes in gift baskets. I substituted the pears in an apricot bread recipe that I've had for more years than I can remember. The aroma of the baking bread is delightful! Slices may be toasted and buttered if preferred.
