  • 1 can (29-ounces) pear halves
  • ½ cup chopped almonds
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 6 chopped maraschino cherries
  • ½ cup sweet white wine

  • How To Cook:
    1. Put the almonds and butter in a small cup and toast in the microwave oven, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.

    2. Drain the pear halves and arrange in a circular dish with the large ends of the pears around the outer edge of the container.

    3. Mix the almonds, sugar, almond extract and maraschino cherries. Spoon into the pear cavities.

    4. Put 1 teaspoon wine into each pear cavity and then pour the rest into the baking dish.

    5. Bake, covered, in the microwave oven 4 minutes. Pears can be served hot or chilled.

    TIP:
        To make this dish even more delectable, top each pear with a small scoop of almond- or vanilla-flavored ice cream. Make up an extra batch-you may need it.
