Anyone else ready for some fall baking? After a great summer season filled with peaches, blackberries, raspberries, and more, I am quite excited for some fall flavors like apple, pumpkin, sweet potato, cranberry, and pear.  To start off the season, I decided to make a spiced pear quick bread that is based on the recipe I use for blackberry bread.  Instead of blackberries, I combined fresh pears and warm spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, etc.  If you don’t have some of these spices, that is perfectly fine.  The most important ones are cinnamon and ginger, you can make do without some of the others if need be!

This bread is great topped with a bit of butter and honey for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!

Common Questions About Making Spiced Pear Quick Bread

What can I do with pears that are ripe?

There are so many great things to do with ripe pears including –

  • Pear Muffins
  • Pear Pie
  • Smoothies
  • Pear Butter
  • Pancakes

And more!

Can you freeze pears?

Absolutely.  I suggest dicing the pears up and freezing them in a freezer-safe bag.

Do I have to peel pears for baking?

Nope.  While you can peel pears before using them in baking, I usually leave the skins on for a bit more texture.

Can quick breads be frozen?

Yes.  To freeze a quick bread –

  1. Bake the bread and let it fully cool.
  2. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap.
  3. Wrap it again with either aluminum foil or a freezer safe plastic bag.
  4. Place in freezer for up to 6 months.

These instructions will work with an quick bread that you make.
