Now this looks scrumptious.. Can't wait to try this as it is perfect this time of year.. xo marlis
i love thee idea of a pear bread. autumn tends to be pumpkin and apple all the time (both of which i love so, no real complaint!) and this switch up is refreshing! i imagine the use of nutmeg with pear makes everything meld perfectly... in closing, this looks WONDERFUL!
thanks so much for sharing :)
love you and your blog!
