BAKED PEARS WITH CRANBERRIES
& WALNUTS

Did you know that Pomegranate juice contains more antioxidant power than red wine, green tea, blueberry juice and cranberry juice?  If you don't have pomegranate juice, use cranberry juice, red wine or apple cider instead. Enjoy with a scoop of low fat frozen yogurt or whipped topping sprinkled with a little cinnamon or nutmeg.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored and quartered
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • Optional:  light sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place quartered pears in a baking dish. Drizzle pomegranate juice over pears.  Sprinkle cranberries and walnuts over the top. 

Bake for 20 minutes, or until pears are tender. 

* Serve with a little extra juice from baking dish, along with fat-free or low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt or whipped topping.  Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.
