Pear and vanilla bread

Makes 1 loaf.

One of my very good friends and her daughter are currently going through the elimination diet. I made up this pear bread for them so they could still have something yummy that is failsafe. This bread is delicious straight from the oven, toasted in a sandwich press or just cold. You don’t have to have a food intolerance to enjoy it! I quite often make this recipe for afternoon tea for a kid’s club I am involved in at my church. The kid’s love it and there usually isn’t much left over.

1 tin pears, liquid drained and chopped into small peices

3/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons sunflower oil
