fresh pear bread

This bread is terrific and you can see the bits of diced pear when you slice into it which I think is pretty.  I sprinkled some sugar and cinnamon on top before baking for a crispy, crumbly top.

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups peeled, cored and finely chopped pears
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup chopped walnuts, optional

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla; mix well.  Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; stir into the egg mixture just until moistened.  Toss pears with lemon juice.  Stir pears and walnuts into batter (batter will be thick).  Spoon into two greased 9-inch by 5-inch by 3-inch loaf pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
