Directions
Pears With Maple Syrup, Pecans and Cranberries – Microwave,A delicious low fat and EASY dessert to impress! A wonderful mix of ingredients that is great served with home-made ice cream or creme fraiche. These pears cook quite happily in the microwave – as well as the more conventional baking or stove top method too. A recipe I devised for our Bed & Brekafast last Autumn, after a huge harvest of pears from our garden and whilst also trying to find a use for numerous opened packets of dried fruits and nuts!!,Tried this tonight as part of our family Valentine’s meal. While we thought it was ok, it wasn’t terribly impressive. Something about the cranberries seemed odd to us, and the maple flavor was not as prominent as we would have liked. That said, it was a fine dessert. I think I’ll explore other ways of cooking pears. Thanks so much for a fun one to try! Tagged and reviewed for the “I recommend” game.
