This dessert serves two, but the recipe can easily be doubled. Ingredients:
2 cups thinly sliced pear (about 2 pears) |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 cup water |
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
2 tablespoons honey |
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cooked shelled chestnuts (about 1/4 pound in shell) |
1/2 cup vanilla low-fat frozen yogurt |
Directions:
1. Combine the pear and lemon juice; set aside. Place water in a medium skillet, and bring to a boil. Stir in 3 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and cloves; reduce heat to medium. Add pear mixture; cover and cook 6 minutes or until tender. Remove pear with a slotted spoon, and keep warm. Add honey to pan, and cook until mixture begins to thicken (about 5 minutes).
2. Combine the chestnuts and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until sugar coats the chestnuts, stirring frequently. Remove chestnuts from pan. Cool on wax paper. Arrange pear on 2 serving plates. Pour sauce over pear, and top with frozen yogurt. Sprinkle with chestnuts, and serve immediately.
