Baked Pears with Cranberries and Walnuts
Not everyone likes pie during the holidays, so why not make Baked Pears with Cranberries and Walnuts? 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.

Cook Time: 20 minutes

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

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 juices and fat-free or low fat frozen vanilla yogurt.
