Tips and Tricks for making the best Pear loaf

  • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature. This will ensure that they mix more evenly with the rest of the ingredients; it also helps giving better volume to the bread. If pressed on time, allow eggs to sit -completely covered- in warm (no hot) water for 5 minutes
  • For the caramel drizzle, you can also melt the ingredients in a stove-top in low heat, until fully combined.
  • Make sure that the loaf is completely cooled before adding the caramel drizzle, or it might melt right into your loaf

Which Pears should I use to bake?

If this was a Pear Pie, like this amazing Pear & Salted Caramel Pie, I would tell you to use a pear that holds its shape when exposed to heat, like Anjou, Bartlett or Bosc, but in this case you’ll be blending all of the ingredients together, including the pears, so feel free to use a softer pear if you prefer.

What I would definitely recommend is using a pear that’s ripe and full of flavor, that will definitely impact in the end results.

How to know if pears are ripe?

A ripe pear will normally have the best flavor, sweet and sometimes juicy, depending on the type of pear you’re tasting.

Unripened pears need to be kept at room temperature to speed up the ripening process.

To know if it’s ripe, just squeeze the area around the stem of the pear, and if it it gives a little, it’s a sign of its ripeness.

Can you substitute canned pears for fresh pears?

You can, just be sure to toss the water out before using them. One medium-sized pear is approximately one cup, so you’ll need 4 cups of canned pears for this recipe.

How to store this pear bread recipe?

You can store it in an air tight container, in a cool place and out of the sun or any heat sources. It will last fresh for 3-4 days.

Can I freeze this pear bread?

Sure you can! Place it in an air tight container very well covered to avoid freezer burn. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then drizzle with caramel.
