PEAR-WALNUT-CRANBERRY QUICK BREAD WITH VANILLA BEAN GLAZE

Steps:

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
