This has to be another one of the best batter bread you will ever taste. By leaving the pears in little hunks...really lets you taste the delicious pears. The plums added a little more flavor, but did not over power the pears. The almond extract enhances the fruit flavors. I added nuts, but it is not necessary!. I hope you enjoy this recipe, my neighbor received the second loaf...and loved it. Guess I will have to bake and freeze a couple more loaves for the holidays.. I have to use up them delicious pears, from GREEN BLUFF,WA.Farms. Nancy 9/27/12
