I enjoy a nice simple desert and poached pears can be just that. Todays recipe comes from my mom who is a master in the kitchen. (Thanks Mom)
This recipe is not baked in the oven but cooked on the stove top for a faster dessert. The amount of each of these ingredients are up to you, just adjust per your taste.
Poached Pears:
2 Pears any kind will be fine.
Raspberries fresh or even frozen will do

Wash Pears slice in half removing center, add cinnamon, nutmeg, sweetener, butter. Put in a skillet with small amount of water, cover. Cook for about 15 minutes then add raspberries cover once more, cooking for about 10 more minutes.
Remove from pan sit back enjoy a simply wonderful dessert.
