Parsnip pear muffins

I had parsnips from the garden, so I decided to try these and they are very good. I made half the recipe as written and the resulting muffin was very nice. I found them a bit too sweet so the next time I made several changes; I cut the sugar by about 25%, increased ginger and nutmeg a little, and subbed dried cherries and walnuts for the raisins. Once revised we really loved these muffins. Will def make again when we have parsnips.
