Instructions
Cardamom Pear Bread
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the yogurt, pear juice, honey, oil, eggs and extracts
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together with a rubber spatula.
- When the batter is nearly combined fold in the shredded pear.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (See note below about baking times)
- If the bread starts to get too brown on top cover it loosely with a piece of foil.
- Cool the bread completely on a wire cooling rack.
Almond Glaze
- In a small bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the glaze until smooth and pourable.
- If the glaze is too thick add more pear juice, about 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if it's too thin add more powdered sugar.
- Pour the glaze over the top of the cooled bread and top with the toasted sliced almonds if desired.
Notes
- * If you live at high altitude like I do your baking time will probably be closer to 45 -50 minutes and if you are closer to sea level it will probably be closer to an hour.
- * I also recommend if you don't live at high altitude that you decrease the pear juice from 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup as you typically need more liquid when baking at altitude.
- Storing: Pear loaf can be stored outside of the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
