Pear-Ginger Muffins

Chunks of fresh pear punctuate these flavorful muffins enlivened with the spicy zing of fresh, ground and crystallized ginger. You can use pears that are still slightly firm, as they will keep their shape nicely. Use a firm variety such as Bartlett, Bosc or Anjou. It is easy to remove the skin of fresh ginger with a vegetable peeler, and then grate the flesh on the fine rasps of a grater.
