- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
- Peel, core, and puree 2 medium ripe pears (about 1 1/2 cups) using a blender or food processor.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
- Add the pear puree, 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped candied ginger and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
