As a kid, I loved canned pears with a dollop of ricotta. This is a more grown up version starting with fresh pears that couldn’t be easier to make and it is elegant enough for a fall dessert. No sugar or wine are in the recipe, so it is simply fruit with a bit of cheese to start your day. Except memorably tastier.

Poached Pears with Spiced Ricotta

These luscious pears would be a lovely end to a meal or a fruity sweet way to start your day. Instead of ricotta this can be made with greek or strained yogurt.

If you want to make this for dessert instead, try white wine or champagne in place of the juice.

You can also skip the spices and try a few tablespoons of the mulling spice that you keep meaning to use.
