Hands down, this slightly sweet loaf is my husband and children's favorite. Instead of butter, I top slices with plain yogurt. -Sherry Flaquel, Cutler Bay, Florida

I didn't like the texture of this loaf. It was too dense and crumbly for my taste.

This loaf was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my loaf didn't turn out as moist as I expected. It was still tasty, but I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This loaf was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more pears next time.
