Pears with Raspberry Sauce
May 14, 2016
This tastes totally decadent, like something you'd eat in an expensive restaurant, yet it's healthy & easy to make. It makes a wonderful breakfast, anytime snack or healthy dessert.
Serves: 2 to 4
Directions
1 Prepped ingredients.
2 Cut pears in half lengthwise, peel & core. Place them in a glass pie plate or small shallow baking dish & drizzle with lemon juice.
3 Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes. You'll know they're done when they're soft & you see some liquid in the bottom of the plate.
4 Using a slotted spoon; remove pears to your serving dishes, reserving the liquid.
5 In a blender or bullet; add the 1/2 cup raspberries, dates, pomegranate/blueberry juice & all the liquid from the cooked pears. Blend until smooth.
6 Top pears with raspberry sauce. Garnish each pear half with 2 whole raspberries & serve immediately.
Tips & Suggestions
1 Medjool dates are larger than regular dates & have a magnificent creamy caramel taste to them. You can find them in the produce section of most larger supermarkets.
The combination of pears and raspberry sauce is so delicious , definitely got to try!
Glad to hear that Nisha, I hope you enjoy it!
I was looking for a pear recipe and came upon yours. Love the raspberry sauce on top. What is funny is I have the exact same little pear dish as you.
Glad you found my recipe & I hope you enjoy it Jere. Wow what a coincidence that you have the same pear dish… what are the odds? Truth be told I found 2 of them at a yard sale for only 50 cents each! I love deals like that & in the warm weather months I like to haunt the yard sales & thrift shops for items to photograph my food on.
Thank you! My family and I all LOVE baked pears. Pairing them with raspberries as you have done here just takes them to the next level. Raspberry sauce! Oh, yes.
