Recipe by: The New Dr. Cookie Cookbook Preheat oven to 350 degrees;
coat a
9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk the flour with
the
baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; set aside. Beat
the
egg, egg whites, brown sugar and oil with an electric mixer on medium
speed
until smooth. Add the honey, applesauce and lemon rind and beat again.
If
the pears are not juicy, add a few more teaspoons of applesauce. Stir
the
flour, pears and raisins into the batter by hand just until combined.
The
batter will be dry. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake
for 40
to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean.
The crust may crack. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10
minutes.
Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Makes 1 loaf. Penny
