Whole Pears with Berries

4 pears

1 cup raspberries, boysenberries or similar

1 cup apple or grape juice or use fresh orange juice

Peel pears leaving stem on, place in a saucepan standing up and pour over juice. Heat slowly and simmer for 5 minutes. Add berries, cook for a further 5 minutes or until pears are tender, while continually spooning berries and juice over pears.

Remove whole pears carefully into individual serving bowls and spoon berry mixture over.

Serve warm or cold with a dollop of plain natural yoghurt.

Note: you can use ½ cup red wine and ½ cup of juice of your choice to cook the pears if you prefer.
