Spiced Cranberry Pears
This is a SparkPeople.com Recipe
Makes 5 servings.
Give canned pears gourmet appeal by gently simmering them with dried cranberries and spices. The result is so good people will think the recipe came from a celebrity chef.
Ingredients
3 cups cranberry-raspberry juice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 strips orange zest, 2-inches x 1-inch
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
Pinch of ground cloves (or more, if desired)
Two cans (15 oz. each) pear halves in concentrated juice
Directions
1. Place cranberry-raspberry juice, cranberries, zest and spices in a deep saucepan.
Bring to boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture is reduced to about 2 cups, about 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, drain pears, reserving liquid for another use. (The juice makes a refreshing beverage mixed equally with club soda.)
Place pears in a serving bowl.
Pour hot liquid over pears.
Set aside to cool and let sit 20 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Pears keep 3 to 4 days, refrigerated.
