Tips:

For a sweeter bread, use ripe pears. If your pears are not ripe, you can roast them in the oven before adding them to the batter.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Be sure to grease and flour your loaf pan before adding the batter. This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking.
Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
