List of Ingredients




4 medium pears -- washed and peeled
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sliced almonds -- toasted
1/4 cup cranberries
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Recipe



Peel the pears and cut them in half from stem to base. Core the pears and leave the bottoms intact. Drizzle them with lemon juice.

Fill each pear with an equal portion of cranberries and almonds. Sprinkle the pears lightly with the cinnamon. Arrange the pears, filled side up, in a saucepan. Add the cinnamon sticks to the pan and pour the apple juice and vanilla extract around the pears. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender.
