Ingredients
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 2 inch-long orange rind strip
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 pear peeled, halved, and cored
- 1 oz vanilla yogurt
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium-high heat, bring apple juice, pomagranate juice, orange rind and cinnamon stick to a boil.
- Place pears face down in the pan.
- Lower heat and simmer gently until a knife inserted into the pears meets no resistance, about 10-20 minutes, spooning the sauce over the pears as they cook.
- Once the pears are tender, remove from heat and let cool.
- Over medium-low heat, reduce the remaining poaching liquid to a glaze, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Pour over pears. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To serve, place 1/2 pear on each dish and top with a dollop of yogurt over each.
