Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 inch-long orange rind strip
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 pears (peeled, halved, and cored)
  • 1 oz vanilla yogurt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pan over medium-high heat, bring apple juice, pomagranate juice, orange rind and cinnamon stick to a boil.
  2. Place pears face down in the pan.
  3. 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.
  4. Once the pears are tender, remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Over medium-low heat, reduce the remaining poaching liquid to a glaze, about 7 to 8 minutes.
  6. Pour over pears. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  7. To serve, place 1/2 pear on each dish and top with a dollop of yogurt over each.
