the sieve. Mix in the chopped pears.
Melt the butter, sugar, syrup and treacle in a pan, or place in a
microwave-proof bowl and microwave for 2 - 3 minutes on Medium.
Cool slightly, then stir into the dry ingredients with the egg and
milk, beating to a smooth batter.
Pour into the prepared tin. Drain the ginger, then cut each piece
into very thin slices. Scatter over the top of the cake, then bake
for about 1 - 1< hours until the cake is firm to the touch. Cool
in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.
Drizzle with a little syrup from the jar of ginger.
Makes 12 slices.
Note: As it contains fresh fruit, this teabread keeps for just 2
days. But if you omit the pears, it keeps for a week wrapped in
greaseproof paper and foil.
