Most of us love eating apples, right? Juicy, sweet and nicely ripe, feasting on apples especially during winter is a different kind of joy. However, while we are at it, we often forget that there are other fruits like pear as well which are as good as apples and can be used for creating a plethora of dishes.

Pears are full of fiber, they combat colon cancer as well as constipation. My research even tells me that pears prevent osteoporosis. Plus, they even prevent stomach cancer. Along with the aforesaid, even our blood pressure reduces.

Thankfully,  I have often used pears for making salads, smoothies, chutneys are more. And this winter, even Pear Olive Oil Cake is also ruling my mind.

Tender, aromatic and decadent, Pear Olive Oil Cake can be served for high tea along with your choice of beverage and selected, quality conversations. Along with the basic baking ingredients, to give a slightly spicy flavour as per the climate, I have also added nutmeg powder, cinnamon powder to Pear Olive Oil Cake.
