Ingredients

4 medium pears, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter

My 10 and 7 year olds made this completely by themselves. The house smelled wonderful and we all enjoyed the final result! We served it with heavy whipping cream instead of icecream. I think we will double the amount of pears the next time we make this.

Usually not a fan of pears, but this is an outstanding pear dessert recipe!
