I love to make this loaf recipe for the holidays- either as a loaf to have around to slice and serve as a holiday breakfast treat or as a loaf that is perfect for gifting. Wrap it in plastic wrap, add a label and tie a festive ribbon around it. It’s a delicious one! Chunks of dried tart cherries, chopped fresh pear and chopped walnuts or almonds are what make this bread so good.
This Spiced Pear Cherry Bread is perfectly delicious on its own. The spiced cream cheese butter is just like a frosting. It’s totally optional. But you can drizzle it on top to make things pretty. Or you can spread it on individual slices, as desired. You can also bake the batter into muffins instead, if you’d like. They’d be a pretty addition to a holiday breakfast or brunch.
It’s time to branch off from making banana bread and try baking this Spiced Pear Cherry Bread this holiday season. Enjoy!
