Pear Cranberry Crumble

Just in time for the holidays! This warm baked fruit dessert is made with Royal Riviera pears and seasonal tart cranberries, then topping with a oat-nut crumble topping – delish!

Harry and David^[1] sent me a box of their finest pears^[2] to develop a recipe for their blog Field Notes^[3]. Royal Riviera pears grown in Southern Oregon are so sweet, juicy and tender, you can literally eat them with a spoon. Since these pears are so special, I wanted to create a dessert that would do them justice and since fruit crumbles are one of my favorite desserts, I knew exactly what I was going to make.

This recipe will serve 6 to 8 people depending on their appetites. If it’s a special occasion and I want to splurge, I’ll serve it warms with my favorite fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt from Stonyfield’s and serve it a la mode.

Honey Yogurt with Pomegranate and Pistachios

Sometimes, the simplest dessert are the best desserts.

Honey, Greek yogurt, pomegranate arils and pistachios are the perfect sweet treat. I just love the sweet burst from the pomegranate with each bite.
