Ingredients
3/4cupapple juice
1/2cuppomegranate juice
2inch-long orange rind strip
1cinnamon stick
2pears(peeled, halved, and cored)
15 oz vanilla yogurt
Instructions
In a small pan over medium-high heat, bring apple juice, pomagranate juice, orange rind and cinnamon stick to a boil.
Place pears face down in the pan.
Lower heat and simmer gently until a knife inserted into the pears meets no resistance, about 10-20 minutes, spooning the sauce over the pears as they cook.
Once the pears are tender, remove from heat and let cool.
Over medium-low heat, reduce the remaining poaching liquid to a glaze, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Pour over pears. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, place 1/2 pear on each dish and top with a dollop of yogurt over each.
