Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons brandy
8 ripe pears, either Anjou, Bartlett, or Comice
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 cups fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt
1/4 cup granola

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, combine the butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and brandy. Peel the pears, halve lengthwise, and remove the seeds with a melon baller or teaspoon. Add the pears to the baking dish and coat with the maple mixture. Arrange the pears cut-side down, and bake until tender, about 50 minutes, basting occasionally. Meanwhile, put the cranberries in a small bowl and cover with hot water; set aside until plump. Drain and coarsely chop the cranberries.

Transfer the pears to plates. Pour the baking juices into a small bowl, and whisk in 1 or 2 teaspoons of water to blend into a sauce. Top each pear with a small scoop of frozen yogurt, and scatter granola and cranberries over the pears. Drizzle the syrup over the top. Serve immediately.

In our diabetic-friendly desserts, we use small amounts of sweeteners in accordance with guidelines set up by the American Diabetic Association. As with all sweets, moderation is important.

You've got to be kidding

This recipe should not be listed as diabetic. Using your ingredient list, I found the result to contain over 61 grams of... carbohydrate per serving. This is not a dish for diabetics on 100 grams carbs a day. Detailed instructions on how to produce a "safe" version would be greatly appreciated, so your diabetic viewers could also enjoy it.Read more
