Article Excerpt:

Some time, you just can't judge a book by its cover. Take for example the bruised and battered pears that sat in my refrigerator for over a week. Like overly ripe bananas, they were beyond eating out of hand -- but they still had enough life left in them to bake with. Enter this lovely fall-inspired cake.....

Ripe pears are not well suited for many recipes (Bourbon poached pears are an example which come to mind), as they tend to be too soft and juicy. But like zucchini and carrots, they can add significant moistness to cakes, quick breads and muffins -- as well as some healthy sweetness.
