HONEY POACHED PEARS

2 Large Pears, ripe, halved, cored (with each half cut into 6 wedges)
4 Tbs Honey
1 Tbs White wine
4 tsp Dried cranberries

1 tsp Grated lemon peel
½ tsp Ground cinnamon
1 Tbs Brown sugar
½ Cup Lowfat vanilla yogurt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Place large baking sheet in oven to heat. Prepare 4 sheets of foil (about 12 inches long). Place foil sheet on work surface. Arrange 6 pear wedges on one half of the foil. Drizzle with one tablespoon of honey and ¼ tablespoon of wine. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of dried cranberries, ¼ teaspoon of lemon peel, pinch of cinnamon, ¼ tablespoon of brown sugar, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Fold foil sheet in half, sealing the arrangement completely. Repeat with remaining foil sheets and ingredients. Place foil packets on heated baking sheet. Bake until pears are tender, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Open packets over 4 small bowls.* Top each serving with a dollup of the yogurt and serve.

Servings: 4
