Poached Pears With Raspberry Sauce

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup white wine or white cranberry juice
• 2 medium pears, peeled and halved
• 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh raspberries and mint leaves, optional

1. In a small saucepan, bring the water, sugar and wine to a boil. Reduce heat; carefully add pears. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until tender. Remove pears and reserve cooking liquid.
2. In a small bowl, combine spreadable fruit and vanilla. Stir in enough cooking liquid to form a sauce consistency. Cover and refrigerate sauce and pears separately until chilled.
3. Remove sauce from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. Place two pear halves on each dessert plate; top with sauce. Garnish with raspberries and mint if desired.
