Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons allspice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped pears
1 ¾ cups dark brown sugar
1 cup golden raisins
¾ cup vegetable oil
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup apple cider
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 8x5x3-inch loaf pans.
Combine flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
Combine pears, brown sugar, raisins, vegetable oil, white sugar, apple cider, eggs, and vanilla in a separate bowl; blend well. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, 65 to 70 minutes. Cool in the loaf pans before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
