Poached Pear in Raspberry Sauce
I love this simple, yet excellent tasting first course, because it is simple
to make, tastes wonderful and has great visual appeal, and can be made in 15
minutes!
4 Bosc pears
1 - 16oz. package of frozen raspberries or fresh in season
enough sugar to sweeten berries
Cinnamon sugar, brown sugar and maple sugar to taste
Peel pears and slice bottom, so pears will stand up straight. Place in
microwave dish. Spoon 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup over each pear, sprinkle each
pear with cinnamon sugar and brown sugar. Cover dish completely with plastic
wrap. Put in microwave on high for 10 or 12 min. or until pears are tender, but
not too soft. Meanwhile heat berries and puree in blender, run thru sieve to
remove seeds, add enough sugar to sweeten and heat on top of stove. Place
poached pear in serving plate and cover with sauce or put sauce in plate and set
pear in the center.
Garnish with a few whole berries.
