How to make pear bread:

Cream the butter gradually, then beat in sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Combine dry ingredients. Add to egg mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in pears and vanilla. Pour into buttered 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.

I make this fat-free by substituting 1/2 cup of applesauce for the butter and Egg Beaters for the eggs.
