Spiced Persimmon and Pear Bread
Extra-ripe pears lend moisture, and a lovely natural sweetness to this quick bread. The dried cranberries, diced persimmons, and crunchy toasted pecans add great texture. And the warm spices are perfect for this Season:Fall treat.
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until nuts are fragrant and toasted. Allow to cool, then chop coarsely. Coat two small loaf pans with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, pears, honey, oil, ginger, vanilla, and eggs. Fold wet ingredients into the flour mixture, then fold in diced persimmon, cranberries, and toasted pecans. Divide batter evenly between loaf pans, then bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then carefully remove from pans and allow to cool completely before slicing.
