âThese pears are very simple to prepare, but so elegant,â assures Edna Lee of Greeley, Colorado. âI love to serve them when fresh raspberries are in season. They make a beautiful presentation for special occasions and are always well liked by both young and old.â TIP: âI've occasionally used home-canned pear halves and no one ever knows the difference,â Edna says. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups orange juice |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches) |
4 large pears, peeled and halved |
1/2 cup fresh raspberries |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring the orange juice, brown sugar and cinnamon stick to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add pears; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender but firm.
2. Using a slotted spoon, place each pear half in a dessert dish. Garnish with raspberries. Drizzle with poaching liquid. Yield: 8 servings.
