redcurrant sauce

  • 1/2 cup (125ml) dry red wine

  • 1/2 cup (125ml) redcurrant jelly

  1. Peel pears, leaving stems intact. Trim base of pears so they sit flat. Place pears in deep pan, add water and tea bags, bring to boil; simmer, covered, about 25 minutes or until pears are tender.

  2. Cool pears in liquid; reserve 3/4 cup (180ml) of cooking liquid for sauce. Serve drained pears with Redcurrant Sauce and low-fat yogurt topped with toasted slivered almonds, if desired.

  3. To make Redcurrant Sauce: Combine wine, jelly, corn flour and reserved cooking liquid in medium pan, stir over heat until sauce boils and thickens; cool.
