Spiced Pears

Fruit for dessert doesn't have to be boring! Try adding some granola, nuts  or heart healthy cereal for a bit of crunch and some added fiber.

​You can make these delicious pears using just cinnamon if you don't have the other spices. They will still taste great.


Makes: 4 Servings

Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) pears, undrained (canned in their own juice, not syrup)
4 slices fresh ginger, peeled 

¼ tsp nutmeg (or pumpkin pie spice)*
¼ tsp cinnamon
2 cups low-fat vanilla ice cream


Instructions
  1. Drain liquid from pears into saucepan and add cinnamon. If using nutmeg and ginger, add that too.
  2. Bring to boil; reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add pears and remove from heat. Chill in refrigerator. If ginger was used, remove it before serving.
  4. Spoon pears and liquid over ice cream​.

*This spice is optional.
