Sweet pears coated in sticky syrup…mmmm! Serve with low-fat natural yogurt for a knock-‘em-out finale! 

Serves 4

Vegetarian

Ready in 30 minutes

4 medium pears, halved and cored

1 rosemary sprig

8 level tbsp sweetener

¼ cup (60g) honey

1 thick strip each of orange peel and lemon peel

1 cinnamon stick

Fat-free plain yogurt, to serve

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place the pears, cut-side up, in a shallow, ovenproof dish to fit snugly in a single layer. 

Place the rosemary, sweetener, honey, orange and lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and 7fl oz (200ml) of water into a small saucepan over a medium heat.  Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. 

Pour this syrup over the pears and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.  Serve with fat-free plain yogurt.
