Ingredients
>
1 1/2 cups dry red wine (recommend Zinfandel, Shiraz, or Merlot)
>
1/2 cup granulated sugar
>
2 tablespoons lemon juice (can also add lemon zest if desired)
>
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
>
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
>
6 whole pears, peeled, cored and cut in half (recommended Bosc or Anjou)
>
3 cups fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt
Steps
1
Combine all ingredients, except pears, in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the wine mixture is boiling, turn heat down to a simmer and add the pears. Simmer for 10-12 min. and then turn pears and simmer for an additional 8-10 min., or until they are easily pierced with a fork.
2
Remove the pears and let them cool. Boil wine sauce until the liquid has been reduced by half. Pour sauce over pears and serve each half over 1/4 cup vanilla frozen yogurt.
