Recipe Introduction


THIS elegant dessert for two has a wonderful vanilla flavoring that is very satisfying. With an extremely simple raspberry sauce adding a dash of bright color, it is very impressive.


List of Ingredients




* 1 cup water
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup white wine or white cranberry juice
* 2 medium pears, peeled and halved
* 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Fresh raspberries and mint leaves, optional


Recipe



n a small saucepan, bring the water, sugar and wine juice to a boil. Reduce heat; carefully add pears. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until tender. Remove pears and reserve cooking liquid.

In a small bowl, combine spreadable fruit and vanilla. Stir in enough cooking liquid to form a sauce consistency. Cover and refrigerate sauce and pears separately until chilled.

Remove sauce from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. Place two pear halves on each dessert plate; top with sauce. Garnish with raspberries and mint if desired.

Yield: 2 servings.
