4 ripe Bartlett pears, peeled, chopped (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
