Grilled Pears with Raspberry Sauce

Category: Vegetables/Fruits Grilled

Ingredients
4 ripe Bosc or Anjou pears
2 Tbs. melted margarine
1 C. fresh or frozen raspberries
1 C. seedless raspberry preserves
2 Tbs. orange juice

Directions

Preheat the grill. Peel the pears, cut in half, and remove the cores. Brush the pear halves with the margarine and grill until they show char marks, 4 to 5 minutes. In a small saucepan simmer three-fourths of the raspberries, the preserves, and orange juice for 4 to 5 minutes. Press the sauce through a strainer, discarding the seeds. Pour the sauce evenly onto 4 dessert dishes, topping each with one of the pear halves, cut side down. Garnish with the remaining raspberries.


Serves 4.
