Fresh Pear Bread

I was in the mood today to make a good bread. This is one of my favorites. It's delicious! Ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1/2 cup sugar 2 tsp baking powder 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp cinnamon 3/4 cup pear nectar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/3 cups finely chopped peeled pears(about 1 1/2 medium) 1/4 cup plus 2 tbs dried currants or dark raisins(optional) 1/4 cup chopped walnuts(optional) Directions: Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl, stir to mix well. Add the nectar, vanilla, and pears, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in the currants or raisins and, if desired , the walnuts. Coat an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, and spread mixture evenlyin the pan. Bake at 325* for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let sit for 15 min. Invert the loaf onto a wire rack, turn right side up and cool to room temperature. Wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and store 8 hours or over night before slicing and serving. Overnight storage will develop the flavors and give the loaf a softer, moister crust. Refrigerate any leftovers not eaten within 24 hours.
