Method

  • step 1

    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.

  • step 2

    Spoon into serving dishes, drizzle extra maple syrup, if you like, and serve with yogurt.

RECIPE TIPS

Unbelievably easy and quick. Looks sophisticated. Tastes delicious. Didn't have cranberries so used a snack pack of dried fruit and it worked out just fine.
