Pear and Ginger Quick Bread image

I found the ginger in the recipe to be a bit too much so I cut it to 1/2 tsp, but have posted the recipe here as created by King Arthur Flour. This makes a nicely different quick bread than the usual apple or banana.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I really enjoyed this bread. The ginger flavor is not overpowering and the bread is very moist.
