Pear-Rhubarb Quick Bread This is quick and I love another use for my rhubarb other than just pies (longest time of the prep was to cut the pears and rhubarb), but I have to agree with the other reviewers who said it was just missing something--not sure what but adding butter on top before eating really made a big difference. Its definitely not too sweet despite all the sugar added to offset the tang of the rhubarb. I might replace the oil with applesauce next time as recommended by another reviewer to see if it improves the flavor a little.
