Ingredients:

Serving

3 medium pears, peeled, halved and cored
3 tbsp lemon juice, divided
3/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 cup apple cider or juice
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
6 cups fresh baby spinach
2 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp salt

Directions:

Brush pears with 1 tablespoon lemon juice; place cut side up in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, cherries and pecans; spoon into pear cavities. In another bowl, combine cider and brown sugar until sugar is dissolved; pour over pears.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-45 minutes or until pears are tender, basting occasionally. Set aside pan juices.
Place arugula in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil, salt, remaining lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of reserved pan juices. Drizzle over arugula; toss to coat. Serve with pear halves and remaining pan juices. Yield: 6 servings.
