Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup apple cider 3 tablespoons light-brown sugar 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 3 firm Bartlett pears, cored and cut into 8 wedges each 3/4 cup dried cherries 3/4 cup pitted prunes Zest of 1 lemon, removed in wide strips with a vegetable peeler 1/2 lemon, juiced 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream

This recipe is the answer to the problem of hard pears; roasting fruit is absolutely magical! I have made this recipe countless times since it first appeared in Everyday Food magazine in early 2004 - that’s nearly 15 years and it’s my go-to recipe. I’ve used every kind of dried fruit in this recipe (raisins, prunes, figs, dried cherries, apricots, etc.) and they’re all great! I’ve subbed apple juice for the apple cider. And I’ve served it with the sweetened sour cream, but also with vanilla yogurt and vanilla ice cream. The leftovers are great with oatmeal, too! A fantastic recipe.
