Easy Canned Pear Cake with Pumpkin Spice

When it comes to fall flavors we mostly think of apples and pumpkin, but pears are a fall fruit too, and pear goes well with the warm spices of autumn... I whipped up this Easy Canned Pear Cake with Pumpkin Spice for Sunday dinner. It was the day we stacked fire wood, so I thought it best to treat the boys to something sweet after dinner:@) This batter will be very thick, that even worked well with the wetter canned fruit. And I thought the whole walnuts would be pretty, but do recommend using chopped nuts so you get some nut in every bite. This is a nice recipe to tuck away folks, easy enough to change up the fruit and spices as desired, or to use what's on-hand.

Nothing fancy,

but great with a nice cup of coffee or tea:@)
