Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 .5 ounce piece piloncillo or 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 cloves
- 4 firm-ripe red pears
- low-fat plain Mountain high yoghurt
- ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a saucepan large enough to hold all the pears, combine water, piloncillo, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until piloncillo melts.
- Cut the pears in half vertically. Using a measuring spoon or melon baller, scoop out the seeds.
- Add the pears and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pears are tender.
- Place each pear on a small serving plate with a scoop of yoghurt. Drizzle with the syrup and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- There are many yoghurt options out there for this recipe but I like Mountain High! A no-fuss yoghurt made with quality ingredients and the plain one is unsweetened!
