SPICED RUM AND PEAR CAKE
The flavors in this cake really make it stand out as a special-occasion dessert. With raisins, fresh sweet pear chunks, rich spices, crunchy walnuts and rum, it's a fine finale for your holiday spread. If you don't cook with alcohol, try substituting apple juice for the rum-it will still be delicious! -Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland
