  Now it's out of the oven and almost cold I had a slice of the end, Hmm a couple things didn't work well, the seal on the oven I used isn't quite good and I think that stopped it rising as much as it should, also I used the flour that was here and I should have used a good quality one like I do when making normal bread, so I suggest if you make this use the best flour you can , now in the making stage I will next time blend the pear in completely as I don't like it how it looks in the slice, does taste nice though, so if you make this please come and let me know what your think or what you would change :)
  
  Edit --- 3 days after making this Bread and all I can say is Yum, it improves with age so if you can make it and leave it in your fridge overnight its heaps nicer and is defiantly going to be a new favourite in my kitchen, I'm going to see what it turns out like as Muffins next :)
