It was good exercise for the eyeballs. ;-)

ObFood: The next time I visit my Mom, I'm picking a few of her pears. :-P

Pear Cake**

3 1/2 cups grated pears
2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.

Combine grated pears with sugar and nuts. Let stand about one hour. Stir
often as the mixture makes its own juice. Sift together flour, soda,
cinnamon and salt. Add to pear mixture.

Beat eggs well; add to pear mixture Add oil and vanilla; stir until
combined.

Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake one hour or until cake tests done.
Cool 15-20 minutes, then remove from pan.

Note: To make a glaze, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with a few
tablespoons of milk.
