1/2 c. finely chopped dried apricots
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1/4 tsp. cinnamon pinch nutmeg
1/2 c. butter, softened
4 large firm ripe pears
1/2 c. pure maple syrup
Vanilla Yogurt
Combine apricots, pecans and 1 Tbsp butter with fork. Set aside. Cut pears in
half lengthwise and remove core, leaving 1 1/2” hole. Place in 9” microwave-safe
baking dish, placing narrow ends in center to make a circle. (Cut a thin slice
from bottom to make a steady base.) Fill each pear with apricot mixture. Set
aside. Melt rest of butter and maple syrup. Stir to combine well and pour over
pears. Cover pears loosely with wax paper and microwave about 6 minutes on high
or until pears are tender. Baste pears with sauce halfway through cooking time.
