- Peel and halve the pears and scoop out the core with a teaspoon. Lay the halves in a shallow microwaveable dish, cut side down, along with the cranberries. Pour 2 tbsp of the maple syrup over and cover with cling film. Microwave on High for 3 mins until softened, stirring halfway through. Uncover and leave to cool for a few mins. Stir the pecan nuts through the syrup.
- Spoon into serving dishes, drizzle extra maple syrup, if you like, and serve with yogurt.
Making it full of fibre or for breakfast
Add whole stoned prunes and dried apricots along with the dried cranberries. To make it for breakfast, cool the pears in the fridge overnight, then serve with muesli or crunchy oat cereal and spoonfuls of yogurt.
