Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup peeled, cored, and chopped pears

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Toss chopped pears with sugar, ginger, and cloves in a large bowl. Set aside until sugar dissolves, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
