Caeden has been asking for dessert. I do not usually give them a lot of sweet things, so I have been trying to come up with some "desserts" that are not so bad for us. Anything with ginger in it I am up for trying.
6 firm ripe pears
5 oz dried apricots
4 tsp finely grated, peeled, fresh ginger
1/2 c water
2-3 tbs sugar
4 strips fresh lemon zest
1 cinnamon stick
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
8 oz nonfat vanilla yogurt
Peel 4 pears and coarsely chop. Transfer to a 3-4 quart saucepan. Add apricots, ginger, water, 2 tbs sugar, zest, cinnamon stick, and 1 tbs lemon juice. Simmer, covered until pears are very tender, about 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and force mixture through food mill into a bowl. If desired stir in up to 1 tbs additional sugar and cool sauce.
While sauce is cooling, peel, core, and finely dice remaining 2 pears. Toss with remaining tbs lemon juice in a bowl. Divide the pears, sauce and yogurt into glasses.
