This is a recipe I picked up from the New Zealand Nashi stand at a guild of food writers market day recently, it’s low in sugar and fat, letting the natural sugars and crisp flavour of the nashi shine through. This cake freezes well and nashi season ends in July so I’ve cooked an extra one and cut it into wedges for the freezer so we can pack it into lunchboxes.
Ingredients
| 2 | Nashi pears (Main) |
| ½ cup | Honey |
| 1 | Egg, beaten |
| 1 ½ cups | Flour |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1 pinch | Salt |
| 1 tsp | Cinnamon |
| ½ tsp | Nutmeg |
| ½ tsp | Allspice |
| 1 cup | Sticky raisins |
| ½ cup | Walnuts, chopped |
| 1 to dust | Icing sugar |
