Honey Yogurt
Tags: Sweet, poached, dessert, healthy, easy
Great as a healthy dessert, this recipe is super easy to make. If you can't find blood oranges, feel free to use regular orange juice.
- Serves 4
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 beurre bosc pears (or other variety), peeled and halved
- Juice of 3 blood oranges
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Sprinkle gelatin over the hot water and let it stand for 10 minutes to soften. Mix thoroughly with the yogurt and honey. Refrigerate until thickened (start preparation a few hours before needed). Place prepared pears in a saucepan. Poach in blood orange juice with cinnamon sticks until fruit is soft and glowing pink, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pears with a slotted spoon and keep warm. Boil the juice to reduce it slightly, then remove cinnamon sticks.
Serve pears with the juice and the honey-thickened yogurt.
