Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large ripe pears, halved, cored, each half cut into 6 wedges
4 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons honey
4 teaspoons dried currants
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Ground nutmeg
3/4 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place large baking sheet in oven to heat. Cut 4 sheets of foil, each about 12 inches long. Place 1 foil sheet on work surface. Arrange 6 pear wedges, overlapping slightly, on 1 half of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon currants, 1/4 teaspoon lemon peel and pinch of nutmeg. Fold foil over, enclosing contents completely and crimping edges tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining foil sheets, pears, honey, currants, lemon peel and nutmeg.
  • Place foil packets on heated baking sheet. Bake until pears are tender, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • Open foil packets into 4 shallow bowls to retain juices. Top each serving with 3 tablespoons vanilla yogurt.

I thought the recipe was a bit bland. I would add some spices next time, like cinnamon or cloves.

The pears turned out a bit too soft for my liking, but the flavor was still amazing.
