Poached Cinnamon Pears On Toast

• 1 pear, peeled and cored
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cardamom pods
• 1 tablespoon light sour cream
• 2 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted and cut into 3-inch rounds
• a pinch of ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon blueberries
• 1 teaspoon honey

1. Put the pear in a small pan, and cover with about 3 cups water. Add vanilla, cinnamon stick, and cardamom. Bring to a boil, turn heat down, and simmer for 20 minutes, until tender.
2. Spread sour cream onto toasted bread, and sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon. Once cooked, remove pear from the liquid, and cut into quarters. Serve the pear with the toast and blueberries, drizzled with honey.
3. Smart Tip: Cook a large batch of pears, and keep them in the fridge in their poaching liquid. On nonfast days, you can enjoy them as a dessert with plain yogurt.
