1. In a small saucepan, bring the juices, sugar and lemon zest to a boil. Reduce heat; carefully add pear halves. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Remove pears with a slotted spoon; refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Bring poaching liquid to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Cool.
3. In a microwave, melt chocolate and baking chips in separate bowls; stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate on a plate. Place pear halves on plate; top with sherbet. Drizzle with the poaching liquid and melted chips. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve immediately.
