This came out a little chewy and dense (but tasty!) the first time I tried it. I think my baking powder is old.

• 3 eggs
• 1/4 c honey 
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 3 c flour
• 2 tbs baking powder 
• 1 tbs pie spice 
• 1 tbs ginger powder or 2 tbs fresh grated ginger for more kick 
• 2 cups diced very ripe pear (think banana bread mushy.) 

In small bowl mix diced pears and ginger, set aside

In second bowl, blend eggs, honey and butter until blended. Add pears, and beat until smooth.

In third bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add dry mix to wet gradually, beat until smooth (there will probably be chunks of butter. S’ok.) It should be thick batter consistency.

Fill greased and floured loaf pan 2/3 full; bake for 55 min or until toothpick comes out clean.

Optional: Before pouring in pan, mix in 1/2 cup chopped nuts, or after pouring, sprinkle 1/4 crushed nuts on top.

I had leftover strawberry curd from making Eldest Offspring’s birthday cheesecake, so I made this with it. 

Preheat oven to 350, grease a loaf pan or muffin tins. 

• 4 large eggs
• 1c sugar
• 2tbs honey
• 3c strawberry curd
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 3c flour
• 1tbs baking soda
• 1tsp Penzey’s Pico Fruta

Mix dry ingredients in bowl and set aside. 

In mixer (or with hand mixer), blend egg , sugar and honey together until smooth. Mix in curd a cup at a time. Add in melted butter slowly and mix until well blended- will probably look lumpy/curdled, but it’s ok. 

Slowly add dry mix to wet, mixing on slow so flour doesn’t go flying everywhere. Mix until blended smooth. 

OPTIONAL: At this point you can mix in dried fruit or nuts. About 1c will do. 

Pour mix into greased pan, until 2/3 full. 

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, check with skewer for doneness,  if still damp, check again in 10 min. Shouldn’t take more than an hour. 

Let sit for 30min-hour, then remove from pan. Regrease the pan, and bake any leftover batter 🙂
