I love fruit and when I saw this recipe for Poached Pears with Raspberry Sauce it just made my mouth water!
Then to combine pears with raspberries takes this recipe over the top for me. You can serve this fancy for the holidays, by straining the sauce and serving it as in the photo above or serve it plain as below! But really what is plain about this! YUM!
For you Vegans be sure to substitute maple syrup or Agave for the honey.
