Poached Pears I

== Description ==
This recipe is best made at least 30 minutes in advance to give the pears time to cool.
== Ingredients ==
* 4 pears, preferably Bosc
* 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
* 1 cup cranapple juice
== Directions ==
# Halve, peel, and core the pears.
# Sprinkle freshly cut pears with lemon juice to prevent browning.
# Place in microwave-safe dish and cover with cranapple juice.
# Cover and cook on high 6 – 8 minutes or until pears are fork tender.
# Spoon juice over pears, cover, and let stand 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
# I love the texture and buttery flavor of poached pears.
# This microwave poaching method is so simple that sometimes i buy a big bag of pears and poach them all at once.
# They can then be refrigerated and covered and eaten as snacks throughout the next week.
# Bosc and bartlett pears are the best varieties for poaching.
# This is a nice holiday recipe because the cranberry juice turns the pears a pale pink color.
# These pears are pretty garnished with some fresh mint sprigs.
