This is the recipe that I like to use with the fresh pears that I get from my trees in late August. It’s also lower in fat and cholesterol than most regular cakes.

4 cups peeled, cored and chopped pears
2 cups white sugar
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour

3 Slightly beat the egg whites and combine them with the oil, chopped pecans and pear mixture.
4 Stir the flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Stir in the pear mixture. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
