Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 Large pears

2 1/2 Cups Water

4 Tbsp. Orange juice concentrate

3 Cinnamon sticks

Rasperry Orange Sauce:

2 10-oz packages frozen raspberries in light syrup -- thawed

2 Tbsp. Frozen orange juice concentrate -- thawed and undiluted

4 teaspoons cornstarch

1/4 Tsp. Grated orange rind

 

Peel, slice in half lengthwise and core pears, leaving stem end in tact on one

side. Combine water, juice and cinnamon sticks in a large pot and bring to boil.

Place the pears, cut side up, in the boiling water. Cover and simmer the pears

in the juice until almost soft, about 10 minutes. Remove the pears from the

juice with a slotted spoon and place on a cutting surface, cut side down, and

let cool.

 

Cut lengthwise slits in pears to within 1/2 " of stem end of the pear (about 7

slits). Be careful not to cut all the way through the end of the pear. Spread

slices to form a fan. Spoon 1/4 cup of the sauce onto dessert plates or platter.

Carefully place pear fans over the sauce. Garnish with whole mints leaves.

Serves 8.

 

 

SAUCE: Place raspberries in container of an electric blender; top with cover and

Combine orange juice concentrate, cornstarch and orange rind in a saucepan; stir

until smooth. Stir in puree. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly,

stirring constantly. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and chill. Yield: 2 cups
