My very own recipe was created. It resembles omelet-fried rice. Adding ketchup on top is optional.

Reviews
I have a pear tree that is loaded with fruit, so I decided to make some pear bread. I picked this recipe because I had all the ingredients except the raisins (or so I thought!). The first 2 batches I made I misread the ingredients and used apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. For the third batch I used apple cider. In batch number four I used the vinegar again. The version with apple cider is dense like pumpkin and zucchini breads tend to be. Using vinegar, the bread is fluffier and we like it better that way! One other change: I measure out the allspice and cloves as whole berries and grind them together in a spice grinder before adding. It should be pretty close, but this gives a more intense flavor than using pre-ground spices. Great recipe!
This recipe turned out excellent! Makes two loaves. The spices and amounts of dry and wet ingredients were perfect! Time baking in the oven…spot on! I didn’t change a thing. Took a loaf to work, gone by 12 noon! Thanks for a great easy recipe!
