Poached Pears With Cranberries

Poached pears are simple and easy to make, with any kind of firm, ripe pears. We used Bosc pears, which are one of the sweetest.

Poached pears are a perfect fit with our Holiday Lite Menu (coming soon!) of spinach salad, barley bean veggie soup, toasted French bread, low fat spicy bean dip & relish tray, and herbal tea.
